friend of mine picked up an MR762 last week (lucky bastard)... anyway, today while I was talking with him, he mentioned the serial number on his bolt was different from the serial number on the rifle. seemed odd to me, but as far as I know it's nothing to get worked up over...

anyone able to shed any light on this?

The BCG is imported from Germany. The German gov't requires certain parts of a firearm to be serialized, one of which is the bolt. The lower and barrel are machined and serialized here in the U.S. and as such, the serial numbers will not match those found on parts that are serialized in Germany.

Thanks, that's kind of what I figured. Just wanted to make sure I was getting the correct info to my friend.
