spring reminder

[polarticus 5]

(apologize in advance for yet another dumb question thread relating to conversions)

 

I went ahead and browsed around trying to find the answer before posting but alas I couldn't.

 

Please very explicitly identify and direct me where these are installed. I DID purposefully leave the bold hold open lever out so I'm pretty sure the smaller spring can be discarded?

 

PS: Being slightly thick headed I need clear and concise and overly specific information, so don't worry about insulting my intelligence

 

I thank all of you in advance for the informative posts in the past and encouragement to get off my butt and finally convert my saiga 7.62

Assuming you have a shepards crook or retaining plate, they can both be discarded. The larger one held the axis (hammer and trigger) pins in place before you converted.

 

Edit: I would hold onto the BHO spring and keep it with the BHO. Never know if you might decide to put it back in at a later time. Or you could send it to someone who wants spare parts.

I would keep the smaller one in case you ever want to reinstall your bolt hold open. If your converted pitch the long one

You're good to go, those 2 springs are not needed in your rifle. I removed my BHO lever, I can't stand that lever being in the way. I use wooden chopsticks to hold it open at the range.
