First off , I want to thank everyone for the warm welcome I received on the new member intro page. As the title states, I have several issues with my SR 762. Purchased it NIB in 2016. First range session in early 2017. I experienced intermittent FTE, FTF and bolt lock release on ejecting an empty mag. I started out on regulator setting 2 and switched to 3 but that didn't help. Sent it back to Ruger. The repair memo said change buffer spring, fired 12 rounds without malfunction. Long story short I wasn't able to fire it for quite a long time due to some medical issues but mainly because I couldn't get to a range conveniently. Finally my indoor range (25 yards) allowed rifle fire so I took it there and experienced random FTF and a few cases where the bolt only traveled back half way. I called Ruger and explained. CS rep said clean it and lube it and set the regulator to 3. If you still have trouble send it back but it's on your dime. So I cleaned an lubed it (minimal lube as recommended). It worked fine for about 30 rounds then got the FTF. Finally, the bolt locked up and the charging handle wouldn't budge it. Had to borrow a rubber mallet from the RSO to free it. There was a live round in the chamber (lesson learned). I've read a lot about this problem (problems with the Magpul P Mags, etc.) I bought two D&H SR 25 mags that I will try next range trip and I will clean and lube it wet. Any input is greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Rick
