Product description

Ambidextrous AR-15 Bolt Catch – Convert Any Mil-Spec Lower

NOTE: Guntology announced these are not expected to be back in stock until 2027

The PDQ (Pretty Damn Quick) Ambidextrous bolt release upgrades your AR-15 for ease of use, whether you’re right or left handed. Unlike many drop-in ambi bolt catches which use a linkage in the trigger guard, the PDQ is faster, safer, and just plain feels better. This PDQ allows for lightning-fast reloads, and makes clearing malfunctions far easier. And your strong hand never has to leave the pistol grip.

This part does require some minor gunsmithing to your AR-15 lower, but this upgrade can be done with a few tools and a little patience. Be sure to check out the video below to see how the whole process can be done at home. Guntology also includes written instructions with every PDQ, for completion using a Dremel tool. Instructions are also included for use with a milling machine.

This upgrades requires permanent modification of your lower receiver. Neither AT3 nor Guntology assumes any responsibility for any damage you may cause to your lower receiver. If you prefer, you can also take your lower and PDQ to your local gunsmith for a professional installation.

I got this for a dedicated dual feed lower for my MCR upper. The placement of it is perfect for locking your bolt back with your index finger and makes it perfect when stuck with a lest side charging handle MCR upper. It also has almost zero movement unlike attaching a Magpul BAD lever that just kinda wobbles around in the trigger area, this is stiff with little to no play. Only disappointing part is that I had to chop off the left side paddle to fit the belt fed upper reciever.

AT3 Tactical · Thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review for our Guntology PDQ Ambidextrous AR-15 Bolt Release. We are thrilled to hear that it has been a great addition to your dedicated dual feed lower and has made locking your bolt back a breeze.

We understand your frustration with having to modify the left side paddle to fit your belt fed upper receiver, but we are glad to hear that the overall functionality and stability of the PDQ has exceeded your expectations.

I wanted to try the pdq-15 as a lefthanded user. In short I do not see an advantage for lefties as we already have the standard bilt catch on the leftside. I also shoot lefthand eject. Cool product I guess... but not really beneficial for lefties.
martin.suarez Verified buyer
This ambi bolt release should be the standard on modern sporting rifles today. It takes a gunsmith or someone with good dremel skills to install this. There are videos as to how to install this, they help a lot. I have 2 now and in my opinion, they are better that any B.A.D lever.
Matthew Zienowicz Verified buyer
Had to heavily modify PDQ to not have as much downward pressure from the dust cover so it would lock back with dust cover installed. Works flawlessly after my modifications. An easy fix would be to offer a dust cover that has a bumper that prevents the dust cover from opening as far as it does. That combo would be perfect. But as the product is sold now, you have to remove the dust cover for the firearm to lock back. That's the only way it will function properly. I purchased this knowing it's issues, but knew I could fix the problem. All good now

After building several AR's I wanted something more difficult to add to my builds. Sadly this is not more difficult, it is however very satisfying to add. It is more easy than I thought. I have purchased more to add to my AR's. I really enjoyed putting this on. If you can bring yourselves to cut into a receiver you will feel greater satisfaction with your build. Buy it, I have.

AT3 Tactical · Thanks for sharing your feedback! We're glad you're satisfied with your purchase.

Mitchell Miller Verified buyer
With a small amount of machining this Ambi bolt release makes the life of a lefty a lot less awkward. Truly a great product!

AT3 Tactical · Thanks for sharing your feedback! We're glad you're satisfied with your purchase.

Carl Eanes Verified buyer
This is a great up-grade to any AR 15 style rifle or pistol. I put one on a 300 Blackout pistol as well as a couple or rifles. The install is easy and took me about 45 minutes using a drill, file, and hacksaw. It works great and will order more.
