Why the Geissele Maritime Bolt Catch is a FAIL

There are just too many other options than to block off your ability to repair your trigger assembly in the field if you get a popped primer. This happens once or twice a year at the tactical matches I shoot, and if you have this part on your gun, it’s way too difficult to mess with off the back of a truck or on a picnic table to get the gun back in working order.

  1. You’re not using the right precision tools I don’t know who the fuck is going to try and fix the trigger during a gun fight but even then if I had the right punch kit and slave pin as the triggers come with I’ve had zero issues and I’ve put multiple G triggers and the Maritime boat hatch on so I installed a trigger with that bolt catch there and it can be a little bit in the way but not much and it depends I mean you’re using a fucking arrow receiver dude if you would have an issue with it maybe get forward controls Arabian but someone that predominantly shoots left-handed it is great because I do not like all that bullshit Bad Lever crap that’s too much going on I like slick clean at sure depends on the set up but I always if I’m not using an ambulance to work that bolt catch I would knock the regular ping-pong paddle out of a nighttime amend and put that in as a secondary yes shooting red-handed opposed to left or just locking the bolt back makes it much easier so it basically is an amp bolt for the lease that’s extremely minimalistic so use something else if it’s not for you then don’t use it doesn’t mean you get to advertise that you’re one person that doesn’t like it and it’s not like they’re amazingly expensive they’re about 20 bucks And her machine much better than our fucking bad whoever which is a good name is not a good liver is a bad lever because a piece of shit so maritime will catch or other ones like phone controls shit like that I don’t know what you’re aiming for with the bolt releases/bolt catch but I’m able to easily knock in a trigger or knock out trigger without having to knock out The Maritime basically you probably don’t have the right punch set shit you can get a nice precision one where you can use it for painting your gas block or completing an entire upper and lower for 30 bucks

  2. No big deal. Just grind a little off the bolt catch in that area. No different than dudes hacking off the carry handle prior to the creation of the mk18

  3. You can punch the pins out the other side. Its weird to complain about "gucci" parts on a low end lower receiver. There is no reason to worry about trigger pins with the maritime bolt catch, just push the pins out the other side, if the pins are walking out then install anti-walk trigger pins. Might as well since you are putting high end parts in a low end receiver.

  4. I feel like logic or something could afford you to do it the other way, or the fact I don’t think you should be doing trigger repair “in the field” I feel like at that point you transition to a sidearm or find a buddy mid “””operation””” if we are gonna larp about it, that has a spare rifle like in vehicle borne operations
