Aero Precision
Overview
The Aero Precision AR-15 Ambidextrous Bolt Release is designed to enhance usability for both right- and left-handed shooters, offering a streamlined operation for releasing the bolt. Made from steel with a nitride finish, this component is built for durability while maintaining a sleek black appearance. This bolt release is commonly found in mid-length gas system builds chambered in 5.56 NATO, providing a reliable and accessible solution for a variety of configurations.
Aero Precision AR-15 Ambidextrous Bolt Release was the seventh most added bolt catch on GunPartPicker in August 2026, behind the Troy Industries AR-15 Ambidextrous Bolt Release, with about 3% of all bolt catches added to builds. Down from #5 in July. Builds with this bolt catch are mostly chambered in 5.56 NATO (67%, then .223 Wylde 13%), split between mid-length (45%) and rifle-length (40%) gas systems, and mostly AR-15 (74%, then AR-10 26%).
It was out of stock everywhere we track for all of August 2026, and today only Stag Arms has it in stock. Buying today, the lowest price is $52.46 at Stag Arms, above August's low of $19.99, so a better deal may come back.

Being a lefty I always hated reaching across the receiver to hit bolt release. This Aero ambi works on both sides cleanly. Fit my Aero lower with zero modification, lining up perfectly with the magazine well. Spring feels right, not too stiff.
solid. finish has a slight variation from the photos
