A magazine catch for a firearm has a catch body, a leg extending longitudinally from the catch body to a distal end, where the leg has a first leg portion and a second leg portion spaced from one another by a longitudinal gap such that the second leg portion can flex independently of the first leg portion. A catch protrusion is on a distal end portion of the leg, where the longitudinal gap extends through the catch protrusion to define a first catch portion and a second catch portion. The magazine catch can be provided, for example, as a stand-alone component or component group, as part of a firearm, or in a parts kit for an existing firearm.

A bolt catch is movably mounted on a firearm. A first surface of the bolt catch is configured to engage a bolt to retain the bolt in a first position. The bolt catch has a second surface that is configured to engage a follower of a magazine when the magazine is empty to position the bolt catch in a catching configuration in which the first surface is within a path of travel of the bolt. The bolt catch includes an elongate slot that extends transversely through the bolt catch. A pin extends through the slot of the bolt catch. The bolt catch is configured to pivot about the pin and slide relative to the pin. A spring biases the bolt catch rearwardly. Upon engagement between the bolt and the first surface of the bolt catch, the bolt catch is configured to slide relative to the pin to compress the spring.
