Barrel Catches
« on: November 22, 2011, 04:33:22 PM »
Noticed tonight on Numrich there are several barrel catches listed for the SB models - standard (2), medium and heavy for starters.  There's also a separate number for the Ultra rifle.  Anyone know the actual differences?  I'm hoping there's an actual difference in the engagement we can get out of differing parts.  I have a 308 that thanks to my removing some or most of the fore-end pressure on the barrel now likes to pop open.  What I actually found is the barrel seems to actually bounce a bit and instead of locking tighter the more forceful you shut it it'll bounce back a little (inconsistently) to the point there's at times a tight release lever.  If you don't check the release lever it'll either ftf or pop open.  My hope is one of the other catches will provide a deeper latch ability.
