IHMSA15151 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Has anyone found a bolt release/lock set up to operate from the right side on an AR style receiver? I have a Troy bolt release on my AR match rifle for NRA High Power matches but I'm thinking it might be a little to much for the run & gun game. Anyone using a Troy or others? I have a heck of a time fumbling when trying to push the bolt release down and hold the charging handle back as they are both worked from the left side.

Doug H. Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) Seekins Precision has a slick billet lower that has that feature built in. The stripped lower has it installed from the factory. I have one and it works well. Doug http://www.seekinsprecision.com/parts-and-accessories/ar-lowers.html Edited February 26, 2015 by Doug H.

CJW Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 There are several variations on a right-side bolt release, such as the Lancer lower receiver. I am aware of only two solutions for a right side bolt release/lock. The first is an add-on such as the Magpul BAD lever or the similar product from Phase 3. Nothing wrong with them on a competition rifle, and I use them on most of my lowers. The second choice is the Teal Blue Bravo PDQ Ambi bolt release: http://www.tealbluebravollc.com/. It replaces the standard bolt release and requires some cutting of the receiver to provide the right-hand slot for the lever to stick out. Aero Precision makes an ambi lower receiver that comes pre-cut and includes a PDQ Ambi for installation: http://aeroprecisionusa.com/aspx/store/productdetail.aspx?pid=37. I have two Aero lowers that I have not yet built out, but I think it is a very good solution. I got to fondle some sample JP rifles with the Teal Blue PDQ at ProAm a couple of years back, and it seems like a very solid product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHMSA15151 Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Thanks for the info guys. I'm only looking for an add on at this point. My current rifle has the Boron Nitride coating and I don't want to cut into the metal. Not ready to start a new build, but if I do the Aero lower sounds like the way to go. Been doing some searching. Anyone have any experience with one of these: http://phase5wsi.com/extended-bolt-release-v2.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJW Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Yeah, Phase 5, that's what I meant. Works fine, just like a BAD lever but lighter. Just don't plan on changing your mag release easily after you install one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
