This bolt stop is commonly found in builds featuring a mid-length gas system chambered in 5.56 NATO, catering to those looking for a more streamlined shooting experience.

Battle Arms Development enhanced bolt stop has slightly different black anodize than my BAD lower in side by side comparison. Mechanically perfect, larger shelf makes locking back easier. Drop in fitment in any milspec lower receiver.
enhanced paddle is easier to slap than mil spec, the texture is aggressive. that said its kind of pricey for what amounts to a chunk of aluminum and some checkering. if it was 15 bucks cheaper id call it a no brainer
