Hey All!
Lately there has been more and more scammers on the forum board.
They register and replies to members requests for guns and/or parts or other things.
The reply contains a gmail or hotmail address or similar ”anonymous” email addresses which they want you to reply to.
DO NOT ANSWER ANY STRANGE MESSAGES!
They often state something like this:
”Hello!
Saw your post about purchasing a stock for a Safari. KnuckleheadBob has one. Email him at: [email protected]”
If you receive any strange messages:
Check the status of whoever message you. If they have no posts and signed up the same day or very recently, stay away. Same goes for other members they might refer to. Check them too and if they are long standing members, PM them and ask if the message is legit. Most likely it’s not.
Then use the report function in each message or post so I can kick them out!
Beware of anything that might seem fishy!
And again, for all of you who registered your personal name as username, please contact me so I can change it to a more anonymous username.
You’d be surprised of how much one can find out about a person from just a username on a forum such ad our!
All the best! And be safe!

from the poor quality pictures it appears to be a sako/Mauser no dovetails made throughout the 50's until 60 when the L61r came out. that is a very under rated rifle and hasn't the appeal as later models. mainly because of mounting system. exceptional accuracy.
$500 is the rite price.
I have been chasing this 218 BEE for some time now and have decided to let it go based on the information I believe to be true. Fore end has been added as well.The proof marks appear to be forged, not the proof marks on the receiver but the barrel. . Regardless there are a number of issues with...
Thanks for your reply Rugerbob you are very kind as I have been waiting for a reply for an unusually long time never have I experienced such treatment on the forum. Ok bad luck maybe no=one knew anything but just a flying comment would have been nice. Regardless Rugerbob has validated my...
Ok That's fine after some extremely difficult research I discover that it is sako original but very early proof marks on not such a early gun so a factory bitsa like many rifle serial numbers can be misleading at times they used older stock to make this one in 1950. These proof marks also look...
I am looking at this 218 and am sure the stock has been reworked and the fore-end modified but am still unsure about the barrel it may be original but I think not
Sorry to disappoint but there is a lot of US sakos there but the DWC 222 is truly a one off brilliant sako I have seen some sako stocks look really nice but have never seen a sako stock as nice as this one . A real one in a million
