Factory DDMK18 BOLT CATCH BROKE OFF!

[Member 53328]

I'd take this as a sign to get a quality bolt catch.

Yea even if you look on their website they show a stock bolt catch…..

But "This is like new and never mistreated" means he is the original owner because how else could such a statement be made?

MIM bolt catch and poor heat treatment?

It looks like they changed bolt catches in recent years on theMK18s
Different distributors are selling different versions?

This is from bereli.com

That bolt catch identifies as styrofoam.

That is a factory part, I have it on both my factory rifles MK18 and M4A1 RIII. I think they changed it to use one model on both the ambi and standard lowers. I have full faith they will take the rifle back, repair it, and throw in some swag for good measure. That's their MO.
Edit: excuse the funky stoner blanket I keep it in my trunk for emergencies, but here's the same bolt catch on their latest and greatest.

I hope that's the case. I like their rails but that's about all I buy from them.
