MOA Precision Oversized Bolt Release

Oversized Bolt Release (carrier latch) Button, manufactured by MOA Precision. NOTE- THIS IS AN AFTERMARKET RELEASE TO UPGRADE THE M3000/3500, NOT A LARGER VERSION OF THE FACTORY M3K PADDLE! It can also be used to replace the M3K paddle if the tiny metric screw threads strip out. Requires drilling and tapping factory carrier latch for #6-32 screw, or use with the MOA Precision tuned carrier latch extractor which is already drilled and tapped. Bolt release is 6061-T6 Aluminum, Anodized. Screw is hardened steel. Made in USA! NOTES- Factory M3000/ M3500/ M3020 carrier latch extractor is not drilled or tapped. M3K is drilled and tapped for a 2.5mm screw which is quite prone to stripping out, and must be re-drilled and tapped to use this button. Use a #36 tap drill and a quality #6-32 tap and tapping fluid or cutting oil. It is easiest to remove the Carrier Latch extractor from the gun, and drill and tap through at the center of the spring pocket from the back side rather than trying to drill from the outside on the top of the domed button. Grinding or filing a flat spot on the top of the domed button is preferred for maximum thread engagement. The MOA Precision Bolt Release and Shell Stop KIT includes both the paddle and a carrier latch extractor that is already drilled and tapped for the larger #6-32 screw for drop-in installation. See separate listing.

Planting & Care – 3-in-1 Combination Peach Tree

Site Selection

Choose a location with excellent sunlight to ensure full sweetness and color.
Good airflow reduces fungal pressure, especially in humid or coastal climates.

Soil Preparation

Prefers well-drained loam or sandy loam; avoid clay-heavy or waterlogged soil.
Add compost to improve drainage and fertility.
Ideal soil pH: 6.0–7.0.

Planting Instructions

Plant at the same depth as in the nursery pot.
Water deeply and mulch with 2–3 inches of organic matter.
Keep mulch a few inches away from the trunk.

Watering & Fertilizing

Maintain consistent moisture during the first 1–2 years.
Deep water 1–2 times per week in heat or drought.
Peaches are medium feeders—use a balanced organic fertilizer in early spring if growth appears weak.
Avoid overfertilization, which reduces fruit quality and increases disease risk.

Pruning & Graft Management

Prune more vigorously growing grafts to maintain balance across the tree.
Encourage an open center to improve light penetration.
Thin fruit clusters to improve size and prevent limb damage.

Harvest & Use

Frost offers classic peach flavor with strong leaf curl resistance.
Salish Summer (Q-1-8) produces juicy, richly flavored fruit well-suited to cooler climates.
Indian Free provides brilliant red flesh and outstanding complexity.
Muir delivers exceptionally sweet, aromatic fruit.

General Tips

Combination peach trees thrive when graft vigor is balanced yearly through pruning.
Renew mulch annually and water consistently for best fruit quality.
Leaf curl–resistant varieties reduce the need for sprays in many climates.
