Ambidextrous AR-15 Bolt Catch – Convert Any Mil-Spec Lower
NOTE: Guntology announced these are not expected to be back in stock until 2027
The PDQ (Pretty Damn Quick) Ambidextrous bolt release upgrades your AR-15 for ease of use, whether you’re right or left handed. Unlike many drop-in ambi bolt catches which use a linkage in the trigger guard, the PDQ is faster, safer, and just plain feels better. This PDQ allows for lightning-fast reloads, and makes clearing malfunctions far easier. And your strong hand never has to leave the pistol grip.
This part does require some minor gunsmithing to your AR-15 lower, but this upgrade can be done with a few tools and a little patience. Be sure to check out the video below to see how the whole process can be done at home. Guntology also includes written instructions with every PDQ, for completion using a Dremel tool. Instructions are also included for use with a milling machine.
This upgrades requires permanent modification of your lower receiver. Neither AT3 nor Guntology assumes any responsibility for any damage you may cause to your lower receiver. If you prefer, you can also take your lower and PDQ to your local gunsmith for a professional installation.
