Bolt Catch

Bolt Catch for Realistic Operating Functionality

The AEG bolt catch is an external operating component that contributes to the realistic operation and appearance of your replica. On most AEG platforms, the bolt catch has no direct internal function, but plays a role in accessing the hop-up unit or purely aesthetic finishing.

Within this category, you will find bolt catches from SHS and Retro Arms. This part falls under AEG External Parts and is intended for replacement, repair or cosmetic upgrade.
