Another stag10 question

[jonnyboy1014]

Apparently my Google-Fu is garbage today, but from what I read an AR-15 bolt catch/release will not fit a .308 platform.

Which brings me to my questions

1) will an ar15 spring and plunger work?
2) where can I find these particular items to finish my build.

Thanks.

Bolt catch fits, but is smaller and weaker then a .308 bolt catch. I installed one it functioned fine, but I was worried it would break so I installed a .308 one to replace it. When you compare the 2 the .308 has a lot more meat to it

Plunger and spring I used regular AR15 stuff, many places will have them but if you want to buy just those parts without buying a whole parts kit Id suggest somewhere like Truenortharms
