The Strike Industries ARSMCFDE Magazine Catch transforms standard magazine releases with enhanced ergonomics and material durability. This precision-engineered component addresses the limitations of factory magazine catches through thoughtful design and premium materials. AR-platform owners gain improved control and reliability in critical moments.
What Makes This Different
The ARSMCFDE combines black steel construction for the catch mechanism with a 6061-T6 aluminum release button finished in Flat Dark Earth. This dual-material approach provides superior strength where stress concentrates while offering corrosion resistance and reduced weight. The enlarged button surface area increases contact points compared to mil-spec catches, enabling faster magazine changes under stress or with gloved hands.
Key Features
- Black steel magazine catch body for maximum durability and wear resistance
- 6061-T6 aluminum release button with Flat Dark Earth anodized finish
- Enlarged button surface area for improved tactile feedback and control
- Drop-in installation compatible with all AR-15 and AR-10 platforms
- Ambidextrous operation maintains standard magazine catch functionality
- Precision machined tolerances ensure consistent engagement and release
- Corrosion-resistant materials suitable for all weather conditions
Field performance centers on reliability and speed during magazine changes. The steel construction handles repeated cycling without deformation or wear that affects timing. Competition shooters benefit from the positive tactile feedback during rapid reloads, while duty users appreciate the consistent operation with different magazine types and weights. The FDE finish provides subtle contrast against most receiver colors without compromising operational security.
