Frequently Asked Questions
Will this mag catch fit any AR-15 lower receiver?
Yes. The Fortis Billet Mag Catch & Button Combo is designed to mil-spec dimensions and will fit any standard AR-15 mil-spec lower receiver. It installs using the same process as a factory magazine catch — no modifications or special tools are needed.
Is this a complete kit, or do I need to purchase additional parts?
This is a complete combo kit that includes the billet aluminum magazine catch, the magazine release button, and the 303 stainless steel magazine rod. Everything you need for a direct swap-out from your existing mil-spec parts is included in the package.
How does the low-profile button design improve performance over a standard mag release?
The low-profile button sits close to the receiver, which prevents inadvertently throwing the magazine too far forward during a rapid release — a common issue with extended or oversized buttons. The aggressive front serrations still give you a confident, quick press, making reloads faster and more controlled without sacrificing ergonomics.
