22Lr AR-15 bolt catch?

[Purple K]

Does anyone know of a dedicated .22lr AR-15 that has a functioning bolt catch? Yes, I know about the S&W but it's smaller than a standard AR-15/M-4, and it's plastic.

There's someone on here making a modified bolt catch that works with Spike's, CMMG, and Ceiner/Atchisson kits.

Search for the thread.

But it's still a hack. Without the magazines' followers pushing up on the bolt catch, they won't function except when manually engaged. And that would take a redesign of the magazines.
