• 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

Bit of a background on this rifle, I saved this beauty from a skip bin from an ex girlfriend mother cleaning out the grandfathers garage 15 years ago. He was a mad fox hunter. It Was missing the magazine at the time, I found one that fitted a few years ago thanks to this forum. Would like to know a bit about this rifle if anyone has any information, I am most likely going to sell it this year and as much as I know about it would be better. Apologies for the terrible photos. This gun shoots better than any other rifle I own. I have shot through the same hole on multiple occasions
Cheers
Mike

G’day MikeVR,

Hello Mike VR & Jim,

What is the length of barrel on these full - wood Sako L46's? and what calibres were the full woods available in? Thanks.

These marvelous rifles appear to have the same 23.6" barrel as the half-stock rifles. The longer barrels were common on early Sako Mannlichers. A 7x33 I once owned had a 23.6" barrel. I'm not sure when they first offered the Mannlicher in a carbine length, but it was somewhat later.

So far as I'm aware, Sako made at least some Mannlichers in all the calibers that they chambered in the L46. I've seen a 7x33, .22 Hornet, and .222, but can't remember seeing a .218 or .25-20 although I think there are some out there.
