OR:

The SR-762 is a semi-automatic AR-10 style rifle that was manufactured by Sturm, Ruger & Co. from 2013 to 2018. It is one of several AR-10 rifles to use a gas piston operation.


History

Ruger announced on October 17, 2013 on the SR-762 being produced. By 2018, Ruger had discontinued the SR-762 (along with all of the SR-556 models), as the AR-556 began replacing all SR-556 rifles.


Design

It comes with a patented chrome plated, two stage piston with multistage regulator provides a cleaner, cooler running, reliable firearm with superior operating endurance. Two-stage piston provides a smooth power delivery stroke to the bolt carrier. The round, smooth-sided ergonomic Ruger Lightweight Adaptable handguard with flattop receiver features a Mil-Spec 1913 Picatinny rail at the 12:00 position that extends the full length of the handguard. Drilled and tapped for additional rails at the 3:00, 6:00 and 9:00 positions, offering ample space for mounting sights, lasers, lights and other accessories. There are two additional rail sections included. Folding backup iron sights include a windage adjustable rear sight and an elevation-adjustable front sight. These sights provide a solid aiming system that can be folded out of the way to make room for optics, yet instantly redeployed when duty calls. For accuracy and longevity, the cold hammer-forged 41V45 chromemoly vanadium steel barrel has been precision-rifled and chrome-lined. Barrel is fluted for reduced weight and improved barrel-cooling and features an SR-556/Mini-14-style flash suppressor mounted with a 5/8"-24 thread. Chrome-plated bolt and one-piece bolt carrier with oversized and radiused-rear bearing surface. Six-position telescoping M4 style buttstock is mounted on a Mil-Spec diameter tube. Hogue Monogrip pistol grip. Includes three 20 round magazines, soft sided gun case and three finger-grooved rail covers.
