If you have a picture available of the bolt being held open with the safety I would love to see. =] Ask and ye shall receive... Bonus points if you can name the year and model of car in the background... is that a 69 camaro? can someone walk me through how to get the pin out that holds the BHO? I tried tapping on it and no go, maybe I'm just not doing it hard enough. Ex. the take down pin on an AR-15 needs almost no tapping to get out.

I just have the plain old saiga 12 with a 19" barrel and the adjustable front sight post bar. Bought it in 2011 when they had the ATF import scare, got it from PRK arms in Fresno, CA.

ok but how do i remove it? just bang that pin out and take it out?

no, not converted yet. Thinking about the kit from carolina shooters for the ACE 8.5" stock but it seems expensive at $210??

I only ask because this is the 2nd time that damn spring has come off and jammed my gun. Thought I had fixed it by filing a small notch in the bho but that didn't work, so this thing has got to go. Need this gun to go bang 110% of the time and with two failures already, it's just not going to cut it. this BHO looks like a problem in search of a solution. I can't believe it is such a poorly designed part. Are we really expected to trust our life on this absurd spring that can "pop off". How do I take the thing out? Do I just drive that pin out with a punch that it is mounted to?

it said any topic was welcome so do I just need a punch to drive the pin out or what?

Well I was out shooting and the BHO got stuck. Couldn't release the bolt. The spring had popped off this thing. What a terrible design. Where I shoot I need to have a BHO feature and I think it's helpful for loading mags as well but there has got to be a better option than they way the factory designed it. Do I need to grind off any rivets to fix this, or can the pin that holds the BHO be pushed out to reattach the spring. In the future I'd like to do a conversion, but for now I'd just like to have a functioning zombie blaster.
