| When did they start offering this for the 308? I mean a different style from the ar15. |
|
Offering a bolt catch? I think the LR-308 has come with one for several years, if not since the beginning. An Armalite AR-10 catch will work in a DPMS, with some filing of the catch, I did it 4 days ago.
Not sure I understand the question. HK-91/PTR-91/G-3 are the ones with out last round hold open, since the G-3 mag lacks anything to show its empty. |

Quoted:
All three of mine have bolt catches. Since they use the standard AR-15 bolt catch so it would be pretty odd if it ever came without one. Actually they do Not use an AR-15 bolt catch. I happened to have both handy: Top is stock DPMS LR-308, bottom is regular AR-15 (broken): 
New Armalite AR-10 bolt catch, installed on LR-308 after some fitting.

I meant a 308 specific bolt catch. |

I broke a bolt catch on my LR-308 AP 4 about three weeks ago. Ordered two from DPMS. Like everywhere else no parts in stock. I found a regular AR-15 Bolt Catch at Brownells. SO far I have shot near 40 rounds with no issues.
I will have to compare once DPMS sends my order. |
