Like with most M4/16 airsoft guns, when the charging handle on the Star (Ares) is pulled, it releases the dust cover and draws back the fake bolt plate to reveal the hopup unit.

Unlike with most M4/16, the Star locks that fake bolt plate in place so you can adjust the hopup without having to hold the charging handle back. Press the bolt release on the left side to unlock the fake bolt plate. KA and some CA are introducing this feature now, but Ares/Star did it first.

There's no bolt catch on the right side, you're talking about the forward assist. It serves no function on the Ares/Star.
