Wanted: Sako vixen Bolt release spring

[cutty sark]

Hi, anyone know where I can get a replacement spring for a Sako vixen L461 bolt release, spring broken at end so still stops bolt from coming straight out but not strong enough to assist with ejecting spent cartridges, see attached pictures.

Any ideas.

Cheers

Yes I made some a while ago

I believe these are all the same dimensions across the Sako range that use them

I’ll dig one out and take a pic

The same spring went on my Forester. I bought some piano-wire just under 1mm diameter and made an approximate but functional replacement.

Is this what you require?



An original (cracked spring) is third from left

I made a few and created a jig to replicate as I found a few older sakos I rebarrelled needed them replacing
