How I Designed An Accessory To Use Multiple Types Of Rounds In A Rifle
Hello! Who are you and what business did you start?
Hi! I’m Alex Corstorphine, founder of AR Catch22. AR Catch22 produces and sells bolt catches for .22lr converted AR-15 rifles.
Before getting into the business side of things, it’s probably worthwhile to explain a bit about what a bolt catch is and does.
Standard AR-15s shoot a .223 caliber round and, like most other semi-automatic rifles, the bolt (the part that moves back and forth to load new rounds and eject old ones) is automatically held open by a bolt catch after the last round is fired. This feature is helpful because an open bolt shows the rifle is clear (i.e. no rounds are loaded) and helps with quicker magazine changes.
Frequently, people will convert their AR-15s to shoot .22lr caliber rounds instead of .223. It’s a quick conversion (~30 seconds) and, since .22lr is about five times cheaper per round to shoot, you can get considerably more shooting practice for less money.
