AR-15 / M16 – Extended Bolt Release – EBRv3 – Black / FDE
PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK DETAILS AND FITMENT BEFORE PURCHASE.
The Phase 5 Weapon Systems EBRv3 is an extended bolt release for mil-spec AR-15 and M16 pattern receiver sets, built to speed up reloads and make bolt manipulation easier from the right side of the gun. Unlike clunky add-on styles that rely on extra screws and extra chances to loosen up, this version uses a monolithic design with a low-profile bolt catch body and an extended release lever.
Available options are organized below under Variants.
Fitment
- Fits mil-spec AR-15 / M16 receiver sets
- Compatible with many billet, side-charging, and left-handed receiver setups
- Direct replacement style component
Does NOT fit
- Do not assume universal fit with every non-standard lower or proprietary receiver set
- Verify clearance on unusual billet lowers or non-standard trigger guard geometry
What it does
This extends bolt release access into the trigger guard area so the shooter can hit the release more efficiently with the trigger finger side of the rifle. It helps reduce wasted motion during reloads and malfunction work, especially on AR setups where speed and consistency matter.
Why it’s worth it
This is one of those small parts that actually changes how the rifle feels to run. If you like faster manipulations without bolting on weird gimmick parts, this one earns its keep.

Install notes
This installs in place of the standard bolt catch. Use proper tools, protect the receiver during install, and function check lock-back and release before live fire.
Verify before you buy
Verify your rifle uses a mil-spec AR-15 / M16 pattern receiver set. If you have a billet lower, side charger, or some Frankenstein build a cousin swore would work, verify clearance before you buy.
