SEI M14 Extended Bolt Catch

Had a friend help out in the installation. Took quite a bit of pounding to get the old pin out but putting the new part in was less painless. Part works well and fit is excellent. Great upgrade.

SEI M14 Extended Bolt Catch It’s a very good piece of kit. I’m in the process of purchasing a Socom 16 used from my daughter and it needed a few things to improve its capabilities. It works quite well and as with everything with practice it makes mag drops and reloads much faster. The only issue that I have had is with my old pre 2000 mags, a couple of them have seen so much use and abuse that the feed lips were spread out to were the mag follower was cumming up out of the mag and would not let the bolt release move on an empty mag while practicing. With a loaded mag there are no problems. I just straightened out the lips and now they work fin to. I’ve always wanted to put one of these onto other M1A’ and M1A Scout models that I’ve had and just never got around to it until now. I definitely recommend you put one of these on your M1A type rifle/ Carbine they are helpful. David aka Story Time Dave
