jtallen83 Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 I need a bolt catch for a Ruger SR762. Ruger will provide one free to an owner of the rifle, just need to give them a serial number. I have a Matrix receiver but no Ruger rifle. Ruger will not simply sell me one so working with a SR762 owner looks like my only option. If anyone can help shoot me a PM please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue109 Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Gotcha. Same here. I'll be interested to see any difference if you score a ruger catch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armed Eye Doc Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Would it be possible to approximate a serial number by looking at Ruger's page? http://www.ruger.com/service/productHistory/RI-SR762.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I understand why they will not just sell one. Sig is the same way with their parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Didn't 98 work out something for his ? There was a thread somewhere around here on it , he did several things & I think he fixed the issue . Is this about the Lancer Mag's ?

What Chris puts in his LPK matches the B model Armalite but has a bit trimmed off the top. The Lancer mag issue is what made me look into it, the tab on the Matrix catch is just a hair off center compared to where they hit on my 716, got me what the Ruger catch would look like. I would love to be able to make the Lancers reliable in my Matrix build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue109 Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Damn proprietary receivers. If we hadn't gotten such a smokin deal on them I would have kept it DPMS. they do look sexy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
392heminut Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) I used an Armalite A model catch in my Matrix build. Dropped right in and works just fine with my DPMS and Magpul mags.

392heminut Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 JT, if you don't have any luck here PM me and let me know. I have a buddy who has a Ruger 762 and I can probably get his serial number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sketch Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Ill hit up the vet tommorrow at the range.. not sure about se# but i have a different angle from the lgs... hemi! Silly that parts arnt available! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newer platform , its a way to do R&D on it , they have control of what is going on & may make allegations the the system if needed , among other things . You might be surprised , it may be a DPMS Bolt Catch , doubtful its an AR 10 . Could also be proprietary as you are thinking . I just think its Tolerance stacking , if Mega is the same as the SR762 , then there should be no issues & they should know what Bolt Catch is used . Altering an AR10 Bolt Catch , seems kind of strange , if you know what I mean . Edited January 9, 2017 by survivalshop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtallen83 Posted January 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Just wasted a half hour on the phone with Ruger CS. Holly says call this number, they will sell you one. Josh says no serial number, no part. Went back and forth a couple times, talked to supervisors but no luck even talking to someone that understood there are different bolt catches, told me they use mil spec parts on the SR762.............

jtallen83 Posted January 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 I've got a couple leads for a serial number so instead of making money from my request they will end up shipping one out for free. I don't even feel bad cheating them since I'm not an honest man in Bill's eyes; "No honest man needs more than 10 rounds in any gun." -Bill Ruger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 And yet they sold LE 20-rounders. Hhmmm. What was Bill saying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
