    But thanks anyway. I'm not an armorer, but I do know "how it all works".

    Clearly you don't, as there's a world of difference between a hammer dropping on a firing pin housed in a steel bolt carrier group than there is dropping it on an aluminum bolt catch secured to an aluminum receiver. I wasn't being funny when I said it doesn't happen....it really doesn't. I now have nothing extra to "discuss", however.

The one I broke was on a RRA or DPMS lower and the other was a Colt so it can and will **** anything up.
    Nice. Real world data. Thanks. Did it break/crack right where it sticks out of the lower, or did it break at the pin area? Pointless I know. If it's broke, it's broke, but I am curious.

    The bolt catch is not made of aluminum.
    However, the receiver is.

    No, no. I meant the force of the BCG on the bolt catch on it's return home, vs the force of the hammer on the bolt catch when you dry fire a disassembled lower.

    Not trying to be a dick man, just not sure you understood the question.

    If you don't like the topic, you don't have to respond.

    It can break the bolt catch. Seen it happen.

    Don't do it.

    Mine broke about 1/8" from the pin and I think the other one was close to the same. Not to change the subject but that same lower had the buffer retaining pin come out when I was shooting it around a week after I bought it(new), that was a nightmare trying to un****.
