Themajickman 8 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 I was wondering if anybody knows if the bolt hold open lever is the same for the saiga 12 and the saiga 410? I'm thinking about sending my parts to Pauly to do his GlassBolt process and one the parts he asks to be sent is the BHO lever. Rather than remove the one from my gun right now I would prefer to just buy an extra one to send to him. The only ones I can find are for the saiga 12 so I'm hoping that there are the same. Thanks all, Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnboatcat 24 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 The Tromix lever fits my 410 fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Themajickman 8 Posted February 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 The Tromix lever fits my 410 fine. Greg at CSS says that they're not the same. Maybe factory ones won't interchange but maybe the Tromix will. Do you know where I can pick up a Tromix? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnboatcat 24 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 I ordered this Tromix from CSS and it fits and works fine so I don't know what he means by "they are different". http://store.carolinashooterssupply.com/servlet/-strse-1040/Tromix-Saiga-Ak47-extended/Detail It says Saiga and AK47 so it sounds generic. What ever, it fits and works. I had to do a little dremmel-ire to get it to work with my bolt hold open selector but nothing too much. Mod to selector not Tromix extension. Wanted my selector to be able to drop the bolt with one hand and it does. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Themajickman 8 Posted February 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 The link you put is for another part but, I know which one you're talking about. And I agree with you that they should be compatible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnboatcat 24 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 They have two versions of the Tromix. A smooth and one that is patterned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnboatcat 24 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 I was thinking charging handle. Missed the BHO. Badaa! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Themajickman 8 Posted February 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Here's the part I'm talking about. This one is modified Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sunnybean 939 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) The BHO is different on the S12. However, I think the .410 and the S20 share the same BHO. Here are some photos that might help. This is a S12 BHO that is modified on the back for ease of install (safety)... Here is a S20... And the .410... You can see that on the S12 the rails and BHO extend rearward further than the 20 or.410. HTH Edited February 13, 2012 by sunnybean Quote Link to post Share on other sites

im_n2_vws 28 Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 My 1993 .410 doesn't evan have a BHO? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
drifter_ 3 Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 So I bought the Tapco G2 trigger and the retaining plate instead of the shephard's crook. On the S12, you have to modify, or use a modified, BHO with that plate. Will it work with the 410? Do I need to go back and get the shepherd's crook? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

To answer my own question - the BHO lever for the 410 does not interfere at all with the fcg retaining plate. The safety does have a bit of a hard time getting past the Tapco G2 sear when re-installing but it did get past. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dusobox 1 Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 No they are not the same. 12 has a different BHO. Check Carolina Shooters Supply. Lots of info and great conversion vids there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
