    Damaged Firing Pin Retainer Ruger SR-556

    Received the new BCG group today. The hole for the retaining pin is far more snug than the previous. Ironically it wasn't installed the way he told me to do it though. Have to try it out tonight and get some range time next weekend.

    Order your parts ASAP. 4-5 months ago when I had this problem I ordered some extra retainging pins and extra bolt parts (like extractor springs) because they're so small. They didn't have a way to sell them to me so they shipped me extras free of charge. However that may change.

    Slide cleaning tools

    I use dental picks to guide patches into hard to reach areas and a variety of brushes. Love the Mpro 7 cleaning solution and oil. No chemical smell and non toxic. Dissolves powder great. Shooters Choice makes a really good copper solvent as well. If you have chrome lined barrels, dont mix...

    Damaged Firing Pin Retainer Ruger SR-556

    To answer question: 1. Its the SR556 2. No, everyone posted thinking I had the Ar and so I posted a random image of what the Ruger BCG looks like. I contacted Ruger. One of their managers contacted me. Talked it over and sent him some pictures with measurements of the BCG parts. The damage I...

    No I got some replies from people thinking I had regular AR Ruger, so posted that from web to show what the SR bolt looks like.

    Damaged Firing Pin Retainer Ruger SR-556

    Well I think i have it just about resolved. Been working with Ruger tech on the issue. The pin should not rotate inside the bolt carrier. So sounds like I need a replacement bolt carrier. Appear one of the holes is out of spec and the pin is rotating to its edge. Have to say once again...

    Cam pin has minor wear from surfaces rubbing together but seems normal. The retainer pin gets so bent up in some cases you can't reinsert it after cleaning.

    The Ruger SR-556 is a gas piston rifle, it has a gas piston mounted inside the gas block on the barrel and an operating rod going to the receiver. Much like an AK.

    Damaged Firing Pin Retainer Ruger SR-556

    To clarify, with my rifle, each time the hammer falls it rotates to an eventual 90 degrees and causing damage as you see the side as above. If you're unfamiliar with the Ruger SR-556: Here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4aIRxSyJd0 It not too much different than any other AR-15 BCG...

    Damaged Firing Pin Retainer Ruger SR-556

    I did install the trigger. Installing an AR trigger is not that hard, it's two assemblies under spring tension held by two pins, and owner of Geissele even has videos on Youtube on how to do it and the differences between all the triggers he sells. The Ruger trigger is gritty and 8-10 lbs and...

    Ordered a Ruger Precision Rifle in 308 today.

    For longrange deer hunting, is 6.5 Creed a good hard hitting round? Or would you you stick with 30-06 for 100-400yd shots? If not only because of it's widespread use for decades. Buddy has a Remington 30-06 pump that squirrelly on accuracy. We suspect the scope/rings.

    Damaged Firing Pin Retainer Ruger SR-556

    Ok, so I have searched the inter-webs far and wide and can't find a definte solution to this. I have Ruger SR-556 with a Geissele G2S trigger. After about 2-3 shots the firing when inserted vertically into the BCG rotates 90 degrees horizontal. After about 200 rounds or more I see circular wear...
