Shotgun Johnny Posted March 10, 2021 Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 I am building my first LR-308. When I got the lower kit I started assembling my finished 80% receiver. The bolt catch wouldn’t irk because my receiver had a different means of attaching the bolt catch. Instead of a pin that slides through a hole in the receiver then through the catch the into another hole, mine has been milled out and a hole drilled and tapped on the left side of the slot where the catch slide in. I’ve search the web for another like it. No luck. Like I said I’m new at this. Any help would be appreciated. Also haven’t found the catch or hardware from the build.

98Z5V Posted March 10, 2021 Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 Lots of companies do this - Aero and DPMS come straight to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted March 10, 2021 Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 There's another one-sided catch, that someone posted recently - maybe that will pop back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted March 10, 2021 Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 (edited) We just had someone post the bolt catch for that configuration, here, in the last two weeks. Someone will bring it up, so hang on... EDIT - Found it. Check this out: Edited March 10, 2021 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never know when some Joker here might send you a 3ft Purple Double-Headed Jelly Dong. Just because. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saltfisherman Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 I am having a problem with the bolt catch not holding the bolt open, seems the head of the catch is not large enough, Does someone make a larger catch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is your first post here, and it probably doesn't pertain to the OP's question. Starting a new thread, with all your specifics on your parts, will help greatly. Generic information just doesn't work, over the internet, and postings. Follow this as a (great) guide for providing information: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
