About This Part
The magazine buttplate catch is a critical retention component that locks the magazine buttplate (floorplate) to the magazine tube. This small spring-loaded catch fits into a notch in the magazine body and prevents the buttplate from sliding off during use, handling, or disassembly. Without a properly functioning buttplate catch, the magazine cannot be reliably assembled or maintained.
