Paul LibbySako 591 parts
Can anyone refer me to a source of parts for a Sako 591. In particluar the steel ring (or clip) that encircles the bolt and secures the bolt guide.
Would also appreciate any link to a diagram of the bolt so that I can refer to the part by it's correct name and number.
Thanks in advance for the help

Dr. LouPaul, Jim's number is 316-799-2509. He is known in the Sako community for having the right parts. I apologize for taking so long. Lou

Paul LibbyThanks Dr. Lou, Called today, they didn't have the small part.
Refered me to Beretta. I will try them tomorrow, missed their business hours today, due to the difference in time zones.

Paul LibbyFinally found the part at Berrtta. The lady that I talked to in the parts dept. was responsive and knowledgable. Unfortunately the collar cannot be purchased as a piece, have to get the rib, springs, etc. Cost $34.
Pricey, but not unexpected.
Again, thanks to each of you that helped me find this. My gunsmith has been looking for a couple of months (he broke the original part while rebarreling/refinishing the action).
