Sako-addicted
I've had the desire for a long time to acquire info on several of my rifles. Taking advantage of the SCC Factory Records Service, here's the first batch of records for rare Sakos in my collection:
1) L57 deluxe in .243Win #9845: Inspected on 1/20/60, shipped the same day and was one of thirty (30) .243 rifles in that shipment to FI.
2) L579 Mannlicher in .308Win #10609: Inspected on 2/24/60, shipped the same day and was one of fifty (50) .308 rifles in that shipment to FI.
3) L57 Mannlicher Carbine in .244Rem #9618: No production record found (a very rare occurrence). The shipping record indicates the caliber to be .244Rem and shipped on 5/14/59 and was one of twenty (20) .244 rifles in that shipment to FI.
4) L46 Mannlicher in .222Rem #4847: Inspected on 2/26/51, shipped on 3/29/51 and was one of thirty-two (32) .222 rifles in that shipment to FI. This rifle was included in only the second shipment of L46 .222s and was among the first 100 .222s ever shipped by Sako.
5) L469 Mannlicher in .222RemMag #45410: Inspected on 5/20/60, but no shipping records were found.
Great stuff !......at least for me it is.
