Older Browning BLR part needed

[johnnydialtone]

I need some help bad...

My older (1980-82) Browning BLR 308 is in need of a Mainspring tube (Original Browning part #4230).

The Gander Mountain gunsmith has had the gun for 9 months and time is getting tight.

This part is a straight threaded pipe that has a single diameter with female threading on one end and male threading on the other. One small hole through the diameter of the tube nead the male threaded end.

The gunsmith keeps getting the wrong BLR Mainspring tube shipped witch is larger in diameter towards the threaded end. This has happened 6 times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone have one lying around or know of a good source?

Thanks.

Johnny - Check Numrich Arms. I just looked and the Mainspring tube for the BLR is their P/N 833190; for the BLR81 (short action) it is P/N 833200; and for the BLR Lightening it is 833220.
Good luck
