Wet Hand? Wearing Gloves? Helps You Release the Bolt on the First Swipe

As its name indicates, Geissele’s Maritime AR-15 Bolt Catch is designed for use in wet operating environments where the AR-15 user needs an oversized, deeply textured button for positive, first-attempt operation of the bolt release. It’s an excellent upgrade for anybody who needs help making solid contact with the release button under stress or when wearing gloves. With its aggressively checkered thumb pad, the Geissele Maritime AR-15 Bolt Catch also gives you non-slip contact and positive feedback when manipulating it in the dark or while wearing gloves. The Maritime Bolt Catch’s large surface area is a big help in quickly locking the bolt back and releasing it after a mag change. Strong - heat treated 8620 steel - won’t fail under hard use Black Parkerized (manganese phosphate) finish resists surface wear & corrosion Large, deeply textured, two-part contact pad Fits any lower receiver that accepts a standard mil-spec AR-15 / M16 / M4 bolt catch With the Geissele Maritime AR-15 Bolt Catch installed, left-handed shooters get a bonus have because they won’t have to break their grip to manipulate the catch thanks. Left-handed shooters can simply use their left index finger to lock the bolt back quickly and efficiently when making magazine changes.

Great for lefties! (14/10/2017)

I think this is the best bolt catch for lefties with an ar15. This was easy to install. Only took a few minutes. Functions great.

Itâs Geissele. Itâs Good. (15/12/2017)

I wonât be using this bolt catch while patrolling the local harbor so donât let the name confuse you. Itâs without a doubt the best oversized bolt catch out there. Very aggressive texture and very large catch and release pads. Itâs simply beautiful on any AR style rifle. Install can be done in one minute (seriously). Make sure you have a rubber tipped mallet (so you donât scratch your lower) and a roll pin punch set (easily acquired for little money). The catch makes locking the bolt open significantly easier than a standard catch and slapping the bolt closed is just as easy. Geissele makes quality products and this is a great addition to your AR for little money.

Great if it fits (won't fit Mega Maten) (24/12/2017)

So I bought 3 of these, the two I used on AR15 platforms worked great, so if they fit and function they seem great. However it would not work on the Mega Maten 308 lower. It had several issues fitting that lower. The first was that the bottom of the lower "tab" interfered with the mag release bar and the top of the lower tab interfered with the lower frame. Both of those things were fixable with a little grinding. However once those two things were fixed the back of the lower tab came into contact with the lower and did not allow enough travel for the bolt catch to pivot upward enough function. Not a big ding against Geissele, but just letting others know if they have .308 lower it may/may not work, and it certainly won't work with the Mega.

The other issue is if you have a lower that uses a solid pivot pin for the bolt catch like the Mega billet lowers, as opposed to a roll pin you may need to open up the pivot hole a bit, both of the ones I got were too tight to use with the machined pin that Mega uses.

A MUST FOR LEFTIES (22/09/2018)

This is truly a must have for lefties. Less than 5 minutes to install.
