    Any one have a couple DD bolt catches they could measure just for reference?
    I forget who, but someone posted the measurement of a DD bolt catch earlier in this thread.

    This is why I'm patiently waiting for Grant to get his LPKs back in stock before starting the build on my RA lower...

    I think they are ok. I would take them over DPMS for sure.

    Update

    Got my RRA bolt catch in today. Measured in the middle of it (where it would sit inside of the lower) and it measured .156. The LMT bolt catches that we sell in our LPK's came in at .149. So that IS the problem (too thick).

    Thank you for following up with this info, this is good to know. This is the sort of detail that often helps me out of a jam, if I can find it!

    That is good. It means that my cheap micrometer was correct about the width of my DD bolt catch.
