The Strike Industries ARSMCRED Magazine Catch transforms the standard AR-platform magazine release with enhanced ergonomics and improved functionality. This upgraded component combines precision-machined black steel construction with a distinctive red 6061-T6 aluminum release button for superior performance and visual appeal.

What Makes This Different

Unlike factory magazine catches that often require awkward finger positioning, the ARSMCRED features an enlarged release button that provides 40% more surface area for faster magazine changes. The dual-material construction places wear-resistant steel where it contacts the magazine while positioning the lightweight aluminum button for optimal tactile feedback. This design reduces fumbling during high-stress situations and accommodates shooters with different hand sizes.

Key Features

  • Enlarged red 6061-T6 aluminum release button increases contact surface by 40%
  • Precision-machined black steel catch body resists wear from magazine insertion
  • Ambidextrous-friendly design works with both left and right-handed shooters
  • Drop-in installation requires no gunsmithing or permanent modifications
  • Compatible with mil-spec AR-15, AR-10, and AR-308 lower receivers
  • Anodized finish provides corrosion resistance in harsh environments
  • Spring-loaded mechanism maintains positive magazine retention
Field testing demonstrates consistent performance across temperature ranges from -20°F to 140°F without binding or failure. The enlarged button surface reduces reload times by an average of 0.3 seconds compared to standard catches, making it valuable for competitive shooting and tactical applications. The steel construction handles repeated cycling from high-capacity magazines without deformation or premature wear.
