The bolt and barrel extension are different so you cant go aftermarket easily. If you want the details you will have to look them up as I can remember them exactly. I guess it really doesnt bother me as I just treat it as another gun no different than a HK or FAL. |

Is that buffer standard carbine length? Wonder if they are doing the Vltor A5 type recoil system. |

I read something about this 16.12" barrel only dropping the fps of rounds by barely over 70 when compared to a 24" barrel .308, but how do you guys think accuracy will be out of this barrel?
Also who has these available for sale? Couldn't find any online stores with them and Davidson's shows them as "allocated" which typically means my dealer can't get ahold of them. Listed around $1560 though, not bad. Seriously considering selling my LR308 and getting this. I would literally cut my weight in half. |

I want to compare the gas parts and rail between the two guns. As it is now, I do believe the gas piston, forend and buffer are the same between both models but I want to verify that before saying for sure. If Ruger is using some of the same parts between the two calibers, it would help explain the low cost of the SR-762 when compared to many of the other available 308 piston guns. Commonality of parts equals less manufacturing costs, less storage cost, etc. Anyway, I haven't weighed the buffer out of the SR-762 yet but I can tell you that it isn't the VLTOR system. |

It also comes with a lock and a little front sight tool. This is all inside the black soft carrying case that comes with the 5.56 rifles. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Both use Magpul mags and both are piston driven. The SIG, from most reports, seems to be capable of about 1.5 MOA and Jeff Quinn's Ruger is about 1.0 MOA from his review. SIG's publised weight for the 716 is 9.3 pounds so it is about half a pound heavier than the Ruger. |

I read that there are lizard like aliens living among us. Because I love making shit up... Here's my citation since you obviously don't believe me. Next time maybe you could actually contribute knowledge to someone's question to make the thread a more useful source of information for users. Spec velocity is 2820 fps for the Remington ammo from a 24" test barrel. The same load chronographed 2,742 fps from the AR-762's 16.125" barrel, only a 78 fps difference with approximately 8" less barrel. The Hornady ammo closed that difference to 71 fps. http://www.realguns.com/articles/548.htm |

Also read that people nowadays are to lazy to research someone's comment and refuse to believe it unless cited properly to MLA standards. Sad to see this thread being affected by those type of pests. Anyways, I really like Rugers stuff, if I hadn't just spent so much building an MaTen, I'd snag one of these. |

3 questions for Melvin-Johnson.
Is the face of the ejector tapered to a smaller diameter, or does it just look it in the bolt face pic? Do you think the spring clip is a weak point at the gas regulator? Is the clip all that is holding the regulator in? |

CAC001 - So ... Remington ammo was used for the 24" barrel velocity figure. Spec velocity. Not chronographed. That was then used as the baseline from which the loss of velocity was measured.
Then you compare Hornady (the same Remington load was used too) ammo that was actually chronographed to get to the barely over than 70 fps figure. And you were so excited that you peed your pants as you excitedly hammered it out on the keyboard. Most people would have the common sense to leave that out of their post. If you believe that the loss of velocity between 24" and 16" .308 barrels is on the order of 70-80 fps total based on that "experiment" then you have much to learn before you can contribute anything of value on this forum. Your belief in that velocity difference and proud reliance on that gun rag make about as much sense as 762AR15 comparing me to an Obama supporter. (I have no doubt the lizard like aliens helped him formulate that conclusion.) |

Do you think the spring clip is a weak point at the gas regulator? Is the clip all that is holding the regulator in? The ejector does have a beveled edge. The small spring clip for the gas regulator does nothing other than hold the regulator on its gas settings. The regulator itself is held in by a captured pin that's not unlike the takedown and pivot pins in the receiver. |

The difficult thing with the Ruger is the fact that the gas block will have to be removed in order to get the original rail off. Once the rail's off the transfer rod can be removed.
Ideally I think it would be possible to make something with a removable top and bottom that could be lifted off the barrel without removing the gas block. The transfer rod could still be pinned into the top section. This would allow the user to pull the forend off the barrel for cleaning and allow some access to the transfer rod. If nothing else it would allow the shooter to inspect the rod periodically. Something with keymod slots would be cool, too. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Hmmm, look who's not using Troy sights anymore. 
The Ruger SR-762 is supplied with Samson flip up sights that speak to the quality of every other aspect of this rifle. I thought they quit using troy when they knocked off their rail? I would be willing to bet it was strictly a monetary decision and not a political statement. It's just guess here but I would bet it has to do with the new mounting system is using on their sights. I know other companies like Spike's dropped them because if that. |
