• 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

RK62 Magnum Action L61R

Sako Collectors Club Discussion Forum

I have a L61R Magnum action in perfect condition, it looks new, I want to do 300 Win Mag, my question is: can I put a model 85 stainless barrel on it? Thank's
 
Can't help you with the barrel threading, but I have a suggestion - consider a .300 H&H chambering. The Sako action is long enough, and for some reason most shooters find that the .300 H&H produces velocities comparable to the .300 WM with less felt recoil. Just a thought.
 
Welcome Jorge, With two messed up shoulders, less felt recoil, sounds real good to me. Wayne

Though both have the same pitch of 16 tpi, the L61R has larger thread diameter. 85 barrel will make for a very VERY loose fit in a L61R receiver. To the point it is clear they are not the same thread and I would be very concerned if it will hold.
 
Just noticed RK62 in the title line for this thread. What's the meaning/relevance in this context? As far as I know, RK62 is the original Finnish military assault rifle, a much-improved Kalashnikov. Is there another meaning that is relevant to Sako?
