So what can I do to fix this it's kinda annoying. Thanks guys The best and easiest fix is dont use that ammo 700 rounds and 5 failures on that ammo...lookin good I would say PPU suks (blue box) btw blows primers I wont use it. the Privi match is awesome 168gr, :) Wash Edited March 16, 2015 by washguy
98Z5V Posted March 16, 2015 Report Posted March 16, 2015 Check the extractor spring - disassemble the bolt and look at it. If it doesn't already have an o-ring around it, put one on, and try it from there. Wouldn't be a bad idea to just replace it, and add the o-ring, too.
gogoggansgo Posted March 16, 2015 Author Report Posted March 16, 2015 Thanks and I will probably buy a bcm o ring. And this gun loves match grade ammo. Ppu is meh the Remington has a like a coating on it and I think it's sticking in the chamber.

98Z5V Posted March 16, 2015 Report Posted March 16, 2015 Those are for the smaller brothers - not .308ARs. Check your spring in yours first, and see if it's larger. It probably is, since everything in the 308ARs is about 30% larger...
gogoggansgo Posted March 16, 2015 Author Report Posted March 16, 2015 Well I did lol and I didn't even pull my gun apart ruger uses a proprietary piston system and it looks like I don't have one. But to be honest the first four where my fault I had the piston set to max gas and it caused the bolt yo move to fast. And prevent the extracting shell to stovepipe. So I turn down the piston system and cleaned the shot out of it and have ran mostly match grade threw it but after 250 one reminton bullet stovepiped lol.
gogoggansgo Posted March 16, 2015 Author Report Posted March 16, 2015 http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BlCiJJOgPSc It's my guns smaller brother but ruger uses the same bolt design. When I get the chance I'll put it out and look
gogoggansgo Posted March 16, 2015 Author Report Posted March 16, 2015 This is from a ruger engineer when I was having issues at first Gas setting of zero will make it a single shot Gas setting of 1 is hot load with heavy bullets (High pressures) Gas setting of 2 is normal operation. If you're shooting standard ammo, this would be best. Gas setting of 3 is for light loads like sub-sonic and bunny farts. (Low pressures) I used a bronze Dewey brush on my chamber with copious amounts of solvent then the dry mop. Mine did a couple stove pipes then repeatedly failed to extract when it was dirty. Lube on the BCG good and I run mine wet too. Just keep it out of the chamber. With gas on 3, and regular loads, that bolt is moving too fast and slamming/bouncing against the end of the buffer stroke. Clean her up, set your gas on 2, and enjoy!

So, you're saying you don't have an extractor spring in your rifle? You do. From that vid you posted, it looks like the SR556 already had the p-ring on the extractor spring - your SR762 might already have it from the factory. If it does, and you can rule out a weak extractor spring, a functional o-ring - then you can jump to the conclusion that it's gas pressure that caused it. Rule out what you can before you jump to conclusions.

That's why I came here for another opinion Edited March 16, 2015 by gogoggansgo

survivalshop Posted March 16, 2015 Report Posted March 16, 2015 Call Ruger. Their customer service is second to none (that's why you buy a Ruger). They'll fix it! This ! <thumbsup>
gogoggansgo Posted March 16, 2015 Author Report Posted March 16, 2015 I sent it in to ruger great customer service
survivalshop Posted March 16, 2015 Report Posted March 16, 2015 For the same problem ? If so get back with them, they didn't repair it . <thumbsup>
gogoggansgo Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Posted March 17, 2015 No sent it In today for a rma and the engineer said they will probably replace the upper and the bolt with the newer updated parts
gogoggansgo Posted March 23, 2015 Author Report Posted March 23, 2015 Ok gun is getting shipped back to me the cleaned and polished the bolt and polished the chamber and feed ramps. Glad I sent it in great customer service
shepp Posted March 23, 2015 Report Posted March 23, 2015 Wow that was quick! Great to hear hope that fixes your issue
gsmopar Posted March 24, 2015 Report Posted March 24, 2015 My experience with Ruger was similar. I wish other industries had the same level of customer support. Could you imagine buying a used car, sending it back to the manufacturer and they refurbish it for free? That's pretty much what they did with one of my SR9Cs. Love Ruger!!!!!!
planeflyer21 Posted March 24, 2015 Report Posted March 24, 2015 Ruger rocks! I bought a used, out of production Security Six .357 Magnum. The forcing cone cracked, so I sent it in. Ruger adjusted the timing, replaced the barrel, replaced the pawl, put in new factory springs and returned the aftermarket springs to me, reblued the whole pistol, all at no charge. And now they have a SR1911 Lightweight Commander.
98Z5V Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 And now they have a SR1911 Lightweight Commander. And you want it, and you know it, and you haven't bought it for WHAT reason?... Huh?... <dontknow>
