What it does

The Rapid Lever is an extended bolt-catch lever for AR-pattern rifles. It mounts on the rifle's existing bolt catch and puts a paddle within reach of your trigger finger, so your firing hand can stay on the grip when you lock the bolt open or send it home.

The standard bolt catch still works the way it always has.

Any last questions?

Will it fit my rifle?

It's made for the bolt catch on AR-pattern rifles. Receivers vary between makers, so if you're unsure, email support@vetsfor2a.com with your rifle's make and model before ordering.

Does it replace my bolt catch?

No. It mounts over your existing bolt catch, which keeps working the way it always has.

Is it hard to install?

It mounts with the supplied back plate, screw and wrench. Follow the four steps above on an empty rifle and function-check before live use. If you'd rather not do it yourself, a gunsmith can fit it.

Do I need any other tools?

The box has what the lever needs: the lever, back plate, screw, extra spacer and wrench.

What is the extra spacer for?

It takes up play between the lever and the bolt catch so the lever sits snug.

How do I look after it?

When you clean the rifle, wipe the lever down and check the screw is still snug.

When will my order ship?

Orders ship from Casper, Wyoming by USPS. Orders placed by 5 PM CST (UTC−6) on a business day ship the same day. Standard shipping is free to U.S. addresses and transit is estimated at 3–5 business days after dispatch, not guaranteed.

Do you ship outside the U.S.?

Not at the moment. We currently ship to U.S. addresses only.

Can I return it?

Yes. Request a return within 30 days of receiving your lever; it must be unused and in its original packaging. Email support@vetsfor2a.com before sending anything back.

What does the warranty cover?

The V2A Limited Warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship on non-perishable items for the original U.S. purchaser. Read the full terms.
