Phase 5 Weapon Systems Extended Bolt Release V3 – AR-15/M16

The Phase 5 Extended Bolt Release V3 replaces the standard AR-15 bolt catch with a larger, easier-to-reach paddle designed for faster reloads and more intuitive left-hand operation. The extended design allows shooters to release the bolt without breaking their firing grip or shifting hand position, particularly useful when running the rifle hard or wearing gloves. This is a direct upgrade for anyone who wants to shave seconds off their reload time or improve ergonomics on their AR platform.

Machined from steel with a Flat Dark Earth Cerakote finish, the V3 installs using the factory roll pin—no gunsmithing required, though a roll pin punch set and armorer's block are recommended for clean installation. The paddle is sized to provide positive engagement without being obtrusive or prone to accidental activation during handling.
