Thank you so much now i got something to work with. Im wanting to build a 243 or 7mm-08 as a deer rifle. I have a 243 barrel in parts box i bought couple years ago but the reviews are so mixed on 243 builds. And again thanks

Ok since the 308 crowd is stumped. What are opinions on having someone that welds aluminum just fill in void solid then drilling for a regular type pin or threaded pin?

Just tryin find answers i need. I apoligize for upsetting you being your the only one seeing my post regardless of where its posted.

It is information i need to read and know. Where does it belong.

Well you told me on mcarbo to post it over here for the 308 crowd to look at and help me figure out this extra hole business. So we will see

Trying to find out what kind of 308 style lower i got in a parts lot with bunch loose ar parts including a 308 style 80% lower. But after milling it out and spraying it with alumihyde i realized a regular bolt catch pin system wasnt gonna work. There and extra cut out tab on magwell side of the bolt catch slot with a threaded hole through to the magwell. I havent ever seen any other lowers with this design and means of attaching bolt catch. Hopefully the following pics will help someone on here to help me. I dont have any idea of maker and can find nothing anywhere online about this design. Thanks.

I just bought a pile of ar parts from a friend of mine lose stuff he had layin around. Among those parts was a 80% 308 style lower he bought at a gunshow 2 years ago. I have built several ar15s but havent moved up to its big brother yet. So i got home and got lower milled out and then sprayed it with alumihyde. The problem comes in once i tryed put bolt catch in. And you will see what i mean in pics. Bolt catch slot has an extra cutout connected to it with a threaded hole that goes threw to the magwell. I cant find out anything about it any where. It doesnt have a hole for the regular roll pin to hold bolt catch in either. One of my brothers on another forum said in early days of 80% lowers companies where doing all sorts of things to make theres different and thinks he remembers something about a screw in tab that holds the bolt catch and told me to come post on here and maybe find my answer. Id really like to build this gun but if i cant find the parts or even know what parts to look for it makes it hard. I dont know company who made lower either which i know doesnt help. And the bolt catch in pics is just laying in slot to show better the cutout beside it with threaded hole in center.
