Troy Industries AR-15 Ambidextrous Bolt Release

Ordered this for my Aero precision m5 but it won't fit due to the thicker lower receiver. This is a genuinely good product, just wished it could have worked.

I absolutely love this Ambi Bolt Release. If you install it correctly, it will work as advertised. The set screw helps keep the Ambi lever from wiggling around. I have used both this and the Magpul BAD lever and I prefer this over that because this one does not wiggle as much. Both are great products but I rather much prefer this one. Highly recommend it if you're on the fence between the two.

This is a great addition to your MilSpec style bolt release. I have normally used Phase 5 Ambi Bolt Releases in the past, but decided to give this a try. Once installed, it's just as solid as the Phase 5 single piece release, and it fits perfectly on several lowers, including an Anderson, Tactical Machining, and even a JoeBob billet lower (which the Magpul BAD doesn't work on). It looks like a factory part, and has not given me any issues. I like ambi bolt releases because it assists in quicker mag changes and works especially well when prone shooting. I did use Loctite blue to secure the screws and 'bed' the Troy release to the MilSpec part, but in more than a year of heavy usage it hasn't budged. Highly recommend!

I've had one of these on every AR I own for about 4 years now. I have a factory Noveske Gen 3 10.5" that I've put around 7-8000 rounds through in 4 years and have never had a single issue with the bolt not locking back that was caused by the ambi bolt release. It's the same one I bought 4 years ago and it still functions flawlessly. It will not work on every build depending on the bolt release you have or upper receiver, so be advised before ordering. If you have a bolt release that is recessed into the upper receiver it's not going to work. Other than that, it allows you to use your index finger to lock and unlock the bolt. I think the most beneficial aspect is being able to lock the bolt back while having full control and sightline of the barrel.

Never tried the other brand pls remove the upper makes life easier...great product love the aggressive machining on lever works perfectly ar saint pistol .....556

I was originally looking at this product as well as the one from Magpul that is similar in nature. After reading reviews for the Magpul one I decided to purchase this one instead, mainly due to the additional screw that this one features. It has a set screw as well as a screw that holds the two halves together. Very solid on the paddle, the only movement comes from the paddle and not the device on the paddle. I would have never thought how much easier locking the action open would have been with this little wonder. Wish I had bought this sooner! As always, Primary Arms delivered fast and has been a pleasure to do business with.

I already bought three of these. You don’t need to ask me if I want more. They installed well they work as advertised. There are installed on three vastly different configured ARs and now all three of my guns no longer lock back after the final round as they did before flawlessly. There’s definitely an issue in adding these and I’m not happy with this problem. I’ve already contacted customer service and I’m expecting to hear something back from primary arms because I do know you guys have excellent customer service.

This ABR is well worth the money. I kinda like it better than the BAD lever. The wobble some will notice is normal because of the bolt catche's loose tolerance fit. If the bolt catch was snug or tight, then the bolt may not lock on the last round. Good product and I'm very happy with it!

Very similar to the BAD but a superior product. I gave my BAD to my neighbor. They are similar but they are not equal. Folks that think they "wobble" don't seem to understand that it is the BCG latch that is poorly fitted and allowing wobble. Shim it up loose.

love this thing. like it better than the magpul version. double locks onto latch unlike magpul. not sure what other commentor is refering to about attachment play. I believe it is a bit beefier than magul also. highly reccomend.
