Frequently Asked Questions
Will this mag catch fit any AR-15 lower receiver?
Yes. The Fortis Billet Mag Catch & Button is designed to mil-spec dimensions, making it compatible with any standard AR-15 mil-spec lower receiver. It installs using the same process as a factory magazine catch — no modifications, machining, or gunsmithing required.
Does the low-profile button affect how easy it is to release the magazine?
Not at all. The low-profile design is intentional — it prevents accidental magazine releases during handling or firing (known as "over-throwing") while still providing a positive, easy-to-actuate press. The aggressive front serrations add grip so you can release magazines quickly and confidently under any conditions.
Why choose aluminum over a steel mag catch?
The 6061-T6 aluminum construction significantly reduces weight compared to a standard steel catch, which is a meaningful advantage on lightweight builds and competition rifles. Durability is maintained through the hard anodized finish and the use of a 303 stainless steel magazine rod — the highest-wear component — giving you the best of both materials.
