Side Bolt Stop/Release

The bolt stops we use are wider than most (made by Long Rifles, Inc.).  This offers a broader impact surface to the bolt lug.  Doing so reduces the risk of the bolt's lug becoming peened and damaged during its service life of cycling hundreds of thousands of rounds.

Instead of a round hole in the part, they turned it into an ellipse.  The bolt stop is built to float forward and aft by a small amount.  Doing so means the impact from the bolt head is transmitted directly to the receiver.  The pin has one job;  to keep the part from falling out of the receiver and has no risk of falling out or failing.  To finish the part, we contour the outside to match the radius of the action cut.
