Just broke another bolt catch in my 6.5creed.

Does anyone know for sure if this is a proprietary part, or is it a (hopefully) generic part I can get from other sources?

Note:  I just scoured the new website, created a new account/logged in, and unless I'm blind (possible) there is zero contact or customer service information of any kind anywhere.
So I searched my email history and replied to the thread I had going the first time this happened; it was a generic email [email protected], so even if the same guy isn't there anymore, hopefully someone will see it... but I don't have high hopes based on a couple other recent threads here.
Time will tell.

Receiver is milspec bolt catch compatible.

If I couldn’t get a LaRue id get a Forward Controls Design.

Thanks guys... "milspec" in this case means DPMS/SR25 and not Armalite?

FCD is always nice; googling around I see this one also:

S7 I believe is used in some upgraded extractors, so hopefully it wouldn't have any problem handling the stress of a bolt catch.
If it is SR25 pattern, there should be lots of choices.
Thanks again

Large frame bolt catches break pretty routinely. Get several good ones.

Contact LaRue maybe he will send you one in about five months.

I’ve run the Phase 5 bolt catch on a 14.5” tOBR 7.62 for quite a while. Love the one-handed operation it provides with non-ambi lowers.

Thanks for the input everyone, V Seven S7 unit is installed; hopefully it survives more than ~30 lockbacks.
