How critical is the BCB on a LPK? One of my three kits had them, and two did not?

I don't think the bolt catch will work without the buffer.

The bolt catch buffer is needed as it is an important part of the function of the rifle.  Kinda like wheels on a car.

Here once they get back in stock.  Thats just the first place I looked so there may be many other places that sell lower parts also.

Not really. It's more like a car door, it will work just fine with out it, but you're better off having one.

The AR will work just fine without the bolt catch spring plunger but the bolt catch won't work right(or work when it's not supposed to, due to there being no spring tension on it).

The little detent that looks like a peg. goes in the lower receiver. under the bolt ctach.


To the OP yes it is needed. Not enough tension just with the spring in there( actually I don't think the bolt catch will contact the spring without it. )
