It wobbles and it is allowed to be pushed up in the receiver. My BHO spring is not slipping off btw. I've been advised to try and shim it with a washer. Haven't tried that yet. I will try it but if it continues, it'll be one less feature on the weapon to make it more reliable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you for the quick response.....i'm trying to visualize the washer method, is there a tutuorial in the site?... looking into the trigger housing it looks like it'llhappen again. i was thinking of bending it slightly would that damage it? i apologize fo all the questions just trying to learn and gain some experience from you all !! Thank You. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gkcf 8 Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 The spring slipped off. You need to put it back on. After that, bend the end of the spring so that it hooks over the BHO lever. Your not going to fit a washer in there, not enough room. I used a small hitch pin and snapped it over the trigger pin to keep the BHO lever from wobbling. Haven't had any problems since.

I've seen numerous reports around here of problems with the BHO. I need my gun to be AK-reliable. I'm trusting my life and the lives of my family to its flawless operation. You can always notch the safety lever to hold the bolt. Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

weisenhuth 0 Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Just took my Saiga 12 out got 10 rounds out of it and the Bolt locked up in the rear position and the Bolt Lock is gone?! I am guessing its jammed up it the gun not sure how to unjam. Not real happy with Saiga 12 so fare! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott Kenny 144 Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Beat on it a little. BHO is probably wedged under one of the rails. It happened on my PSL. A pierced primer blew the FP out the back of the bolt, and it wedged between the bolt carrier and the left-side rail. I beat the FP straight and polished the FP and inside of the bolt up, works like a charm now. Make sure the gun is clear, beat on the charging handle until the bolt comes forward, then tear the gun apart. The LRBHO in my PSL is this fragile-looking thing, so I'm thinking about adding a latch to the safety lever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
