The AR-15 magazine catch button, as are all of our Keepshooting.com house brand spare and replacement parts for the AR-15 platform, is a brand new part produced in a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility that holds several foreign military contracts. As such, all parts are compatible with and interchangeable in any MIL-SPEC AR-15.

The AR-15 magazine catch button is a component of the magazine catch assembly, which also includes the magazine catch and the magazine catch spring. Located on the right side of the lower receiver adjacent the magazine well, the magazine catch button is a small, protruding push-button designed to allow shooters to operate the magazine catch, which is responsible for locking and releasing a magazine from the magazine well. By depressing the button, any magazine locked in the magazine well should fall freely from the firearm. It is secured by threading in, textured side facing out, onto the magazine catch.

Spare and replacement parts are an important consideration when it comes to firearms. Like any machine, firearms rely on a series of parts to function properly – especially those components that make up the fire controls. In general, if a part breaks or fails, a repair or replacement becomes immediately necessary – not only to keep a firearm functioning properly but also to ensure the safety of yourself and those around you.

It is also important to consider availability when discussing spare and replacement parts.
