jdeitch 32 Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Messed mine up during conversion, need one please. Saiga 308. Thanks... 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 plactic pieces.) 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

Maybe he is buildking a college fund for one of the kids... I asked my oldest son if he was available to be sold/traded for a spring... he figured his wide and two children would object... I know.... I'll get DeeDee to take care of her brother for me... Thanks for the info... Edited January 9, 2009 by CaptLouie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gtnichols 51 Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 I didn't read it right. ,,,...I thought you needed the metal actuator piece, which works on multiple saigas $25 for a spring seems pretty outrageous!! HAH!! :dollar: :dollar: :dollar: :dollar: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HAH!! :dollar: :dollar: :dollar: :dollar: I figured something like that... If you've got a "spring" available I'd rather buy a factory one that go the make your own route... My experience lately with any kind of tools has been kinda bad... how about REALLY bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
22_Shooter 1,560 Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 (edited) I never reinstalled my BHO after conversion and don't plan on doing so ever, so if I can find it (I'm pretty sure I know where it is), you can have it for free. I'll just throw it in an envelope with some folded up paper, and mail it off. But just to be clear (I offered another guy a free part I wasn't using, but it turns out we had crossed signals, and it wasn't the part he needed)........you need the bold hold open spring that is located pretty much right above the "EAA CORP, COCOA FLA" marking on the receiver in the picture below, correct? If so, and I can find it, it's yours for free. Assuming the spring is the same in all Saigas. Mine came off a 7.62x39. Edited January 10, 2009 by 22_Shooter Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 The one 22 shooter has will work fine. If he can't find it I'll either make you one or give you one of the two that I have in my parts bin. I have not wanted to part with them because I am using that type of spring with my LRBHO prototypes and I need extras. JeffD thank you for the tip on where to find the spring steel rods. I will check with my buddy who owns a hobby shop where they build and sell RC cars, planes, and boats. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
