L46 Bolt guide retainer

[Brad Tomson]

Hello, just purchased 222. Riihimaki. The bolt guide retainer has a broken tang on the round spring.
Where do I obtain a replacement?

That's the $64,000 question. Seems they are made of unobtainum. You'll just have to keep checking places like eBay, Midwest Gun Works, Numrich Gun Parts, Jack First Gun Parts, Gun Broker & others & hope you get extremely lucky. There may be members here that have parts they may let go, so run a Want to buy ad in the Trade Corner section.

Thanks!

BTW, when you are looking for the part search for Model L46, which is what your rifle model is. Riihimaki is the town in Finland that Sako is located not a model designation.

I'm fairly certain the ring is the same on the newer and more common L461, later known as AI (A1). So try those models in your searches too.
