Bolt catches and slide releases

The bolt catch, also known as a bolt release, is a control component on an airsoft gun used to release the bolt or slide. On some models it can also be used to close the dust cover. The part is typically located on the left side of the receiver and is especially common on AR-type airsoft rifles.

In GBBR airsoft guns and some more realistic replicas, the bolt catch functions similarly to that of a real firearm: it holds the bolt in the rear position after the magazine is empty and releases it once a new magazine is inserted. On some models the part may also be cosmetic or only partially functional.

In this category you will find bolt catches and bolt release levers for airsoft guns, including parts designed for AR-15 / M4 style replicas and other similar models. The selection includes both standard and extended versions, which can improve ergonomics and make the control easier to operate, especially when wearing gloves.

Compatibility varies depending on the manufacturer and model of the airsoft gun, so it is recommended to verify compatibility with your specific replica when selecting the correct part.
