Frequently Asked Questions
Will this magazine catch fit any AR-15 lower receiver?
Yes. The Fortis Billet Magazine Catch is designed to mil-spec dimensions, making it compatible with the vast majority of standard AR-15 mil-spec lower receivers. It replaces the factory magazine catch as a direct drop-in component without any modification to your lower. If you're using a proprietary or non-mil-spec lower, verify dimensional compatibility before purchasing.
How does the aluminum version compare to the stainless steel version?
The 6061-T6 aluminum version weighs just 5.5g — roughly half the weight of the 303 stainless steel option at 9.5g — making it the preferred choice for lightweight builds. The aluminum catch is hardcoat anodized for surface hardness and corrosion resistance, while the stainless versions are available in Black Nitride or Case Hardened finishes. Both use a 303 stainless steel catch rod for reliable function.
Does this magazine catch work with all standard AR-15 magazines?
Yes. This drop-in replacement catch is designed to function with standard AR-15 STANAG-pattern magazines, including aluminum GI mags, polymer PMAGs, and most other mil-spec compatible AR-15 magazines. It provides the same reliable magazine retention and release function as a mil-spec catch, with the added benefit of improved machining quality and a premium OD Green finish.
