6x6pinz 4 Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 While at the range today my S20 started to have issues loading rounds, never had any trouble before. At one point the S20 just locked up. When I got home I took the dust cover off and found the BHO spring had broke and the BHO was hanging up on the bolt itself. When I did the conversion I used the old spring. Is there someone selling this spring seperartely? thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gunfixr 76 Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 I've not seen one available, but then I haven't looked. If you can't find one, I can make you one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

6x6pinz 4 Posted September 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 yeah the spring broke just at the start of the first coil. I guess for now I will just remove the BHO and put a spacer in its place. Hopefully a LRBHO will be on the market soon and I can just replace it at that time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CaptLouie 8 Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 MANY THANKS to RAAC and SaigaStock... My 308 BHO spring is on the way!!! These are some straight up people! If you need a replacement BHO spring or BHO Plate, I'd contact SaigaStock and let them know... ... along with the Saiga model type. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jdeitch 32 Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 As I had posted elsewhere... Make your own with a pair of pliers, a screwdriver and $1.50... Go to your local remote control hobby store (HobbyTown etc.) They will have a section that has spring steel rods in various lengths and diameters. (Not to mention brass, aluminum and various plastic pieces in all shapes and sizes.) Find the right diameter rod you need. Should cost about $1.50. Use a screwdriver, socket wrench extension, or what ever metal shaft you can find of the proper diameter to use to wrap the spring steel around. trim to length with wire cutters. It may take a few tries to get it just right. For $1.50 you should have enough to make 10 BHO springs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This sounds like a GREAT idea. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
