BlackNet 10 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Does anyone make a LRBHO? In the limited looking that I have done I have yet to see one. Figured I would ask here to see before I try a go at it. I was looking for something that was not a mag mod and hopefully some type of drop in item and not a hack up the receiver thing.

pedal2alloy 206 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Your only viable choice is the real Russian factory one. A few of the parts sets were available from Rusmilitary, and will supposedly be again at some point. Other problem is that the installation looks to be difficult, lots of cutting. One more thing is that it is designed to be used with the magwell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlackNet 10 Posted January 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 I did come across one option that so far seems the most viable and cleanest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JayLT4 18 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 I did come across one option that so far seems the most viable and cleanest. That is the LRBHO setup that comes in the mag-well equipped Saigas and the VEPR-12. I don't know of anyone that has retro-fitted it to a non-mag well gun at this point.

BlackNet 10 Posted January 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 I really don't see why it could not be fitted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Reguile 7 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 I'd love to get one too. I read some people were making them... I wonder what happened to them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beretty 37 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 I'd love to get one too. I read some people were making them... I wonder what happened to them Someone told me that they didn't function properly. He told me it would lock the bolt open after a couple shots and that he eventually removed it. I don't know if is completely true but the only LRBHO vids I've seen only fire 2-3 rounds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlackNet 10 Posted January 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 OK Looking over that setup I can understand why it would fire 2-3 rounds. Seems that would be a spring issue, the hold down spring (lower outside receiver) putting more pressure than the magazine pushes up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The system you posted pictures of earlier is currently in use on many factory guns and it works just fine. I have that setup in my Legion IZ-433. The magazine does not put any force on it, only the magazine follower. Once the follower pops up after the last round it will push the metal bar up, locking the bolt back.

HighPlainsDrifter 466 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 One more thing is that it is designed to be used with the magwell. This statement makes the LRBHO sound dependent on a magwell which is incorrect. You don't need a magell to have a LRBHO. Here's a pic off of gunbroker of an unconfigured Legion Iz-109BHO.

A few of those were imported with the LRBHO and no magwell, but those guns have been associated with the problem of the rock-and-lock action of the mag snagging on the LRBHO actuator tab. The problem doesn't occur with the magwell because of the straight insertion action. The Russians designed the LRBHO and magwell to be used together. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
