yfzrevo450 7 Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Hi,A few years ago I bought an IZ 109 Saiga 12 with the last round bolt hold open. About a year ago, I sent the bolt and internals to Pauly Steelin for a polish job, and have been caught in the middle of his disappearance, so I fear I will never see my parts again... So my search has started for the rare LRBHO lever. I can get replacement parts for everything else he has, but not the special LRBHO lever. Does anyone know where I can find one?

Wagnikov 186 Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Huh?! You had a iz109 with lrbho? If you want a standard bho o have several you can have. But if your looking for something RARE idk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yfzrevo450 7 Posted June 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Yes, it is a factory installed LRBHO. The magazine has a taller follower to make it work. The bolt hold lever is different, and that's the only part I can't find to replace the internals of my S12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But if your looking for something RARE idk He apparently had an IZ 433 or similar 030 variant. It is not the same as the manual BHO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
goldenpony 61 Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 What is this about Pauly's disappearance? I guess I wasn't aware of this. What's it all about? Pauly polished the bolt & carrier for my S12 . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wasn't there a batch of 109's a few yrs back that had a factory lrbho? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wagnikov 186 Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I'm very interested now! Could you take picks of your reciever. Did you buy the gun used? Is it an aftermarket model? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wasn't there a batch of 109's a few yrs back that had a factory lrbho? Maybe. I think there was. Izzy has been kinda inconsistent with model numbers and designation. There was a model with the 109 style block, rock n lock mags, and LRBHO that the importer was calling an S12 K despite the lack of K markings and the parts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It indeed came with the same LRBHO seen on the 030/040's. Unfortunatley it used rock-n-lock magazines. Some people reported that the LRBHO would snag on a loaded mag due to the rock-n-lock action. Not sure how credible this was but needless to say not many were imported. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spicoli 12 Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 You need special rock and lock mags or modified ones. Otherwise....problems. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 The modifications needed were pretty simple though, and IIRC the factory modified mags were obviously done in a hurry with a rasp. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yfzrevo450 7 Posted June 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 I bought it from a gun shop on GunBroker. It was new, not used or modified. If you use standard mags, the lever will trip the hold, so all you do is dremel a little spot of material out, so the lever lowers enough to not hold the bolt. I believe the receiver looks about the same. The lever is so rare I fear I wont be able to find one. If someone has one, I'll pay a huge deposit on it if you ship it to me, so I can fabricate a replicate. My father is very good with making custom pieces and could do it if he had one to compare it to. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They were out right around the same time that Tom Cole was bringing his lrbho to market. They were definitely 109's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garnaz 215 Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Does it drop in where manual bolt hold open fit? Do you have a manual bolt drop? Mags slightly modified by feedlip? Pic of mag? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HighPlainsDrifter 466 Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?/topic/91332-rusmilitary-lrbho/&do=findComment&comment=946975 Thanks, I'll see if I can get a hold of him or find another, now I know they're made. A few years ago people ordered these kits from rusmiitary. It would be worth sending them an email eventhough I haven't seen them bring any new items in for over a year. For clarification you've stated that you're looking for the lever. I'm assuming you don't need the spring, plunger, and nut that are also included in the kits. I have an extra plunger laying around. Pm me if you need that as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
