georgie15 Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 (edited) Gents I'm looking for a replacement part which looks like a tuning fork and goes into the stock and I think it slides up the sides of the breach block. I've searched the net and for the life of me can't find any info Hope these photos can identify the correct name of the offending part Any info would be helpful Cheers Edited April 19, 2019 by georgie15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diver One Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 Wabbitbosher is looking for an old 520 action for me so I can make a new "breach buffer block" as mine has dissolved....so that may be a source for you as I only need the dimensions so I can machine one. can you access your 'buffer' to,get some sizes for me?

Spoon Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 So this schematic suggests its a "Link". Seems to be a few styles but one of the ones that does have a pictures is close to yours suggesting this might be right. Link is an annoyingly generic term to search for tho so might be hard.

georgie15 Posted April 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 Thanks for your input gents , m8 of a m8 did a tig weld , was on the crows for a couple of hrs last night and it seemed ok but I've a good deal on a Browning and the dealer is aware of the issue with the Franchi and has given me a fair deal on it so no complaints here. Thanks again gents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diver One Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 Not to scale! no idea of the shape as mine is missing....turned into a pile of bits. Can see hole it goes into but other than that it's guesswork. I think option #2 is possibly nearer the mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diver One Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 Thanks for looking i inherited the gun, cleaned it for the first time in its life. The 'buffer' as I call it was just a pile of amber coloured crumbs . i,have been told it is not important on light loads BUT metal on metal is never good!....and Franchi went to,the trouble of designing, machining and fitting the part in question. All I need is Dimensions and I can make one as I have the equipment to make most things and if not I know a man who can i will get in touch with @wabbitbosher and see if he managed to find anything in his bits box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
