• 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! Jim

Sako LA Magazine Follower Spring Needed

I need a follower spring for an older Sako long action. This is a model AIII. I searched Brownell's and Numrich but haven't found anything yet. Any info or leads would be appreciated.

Thanks, Bill
 
IMO you need to start with a spring that's at least as wide and long as needed on both ends. Then you would have to trim it back to the desired dimensions. The easy way to do this would be with a belt sander. Using a dremel or something like that would probably result in an uneven surface that isn't square.

How about a file?
 
I found a gunsmith in PA that has a new old stock spring for an L61R. It seems very close from the pics he sent me. Can't wait to get it.
