The BATTLEARMS BAD-EMC-IC AR-15 Cast Enhanced Magazine Catch brings a refined, lightweight option for builders seeking dependable magazine release performance and a clean, low-profile setup. Designed as a practical component for compatible AR-15 platforms, it combines one-piece construction with a fluted profile and a durable black phosphate finish.
Investment casting follows the same manufacturing process used for mil-spec magazine catches, while heat-treated 8620 steel supports durable service. The shorter threaded pin helps reduce the installed magazine button profile when used with solid-face magazine release buttons. At just 0.25 ounces, this catch weighs less than the listed 0.32-ounce mil-spec comparison. Its compact dimensions make it a considered choice for builds prioritizing reduced bulk.
