Hi Folks!
Earlier today, a local auctioneer offered up four -- count ‘em, four -- Finnwolfs.
Finnwolves?
Most were in very good condition, except for some very think coatings of dust. Me, knowing just enough about Sakos (Sakoes? Saki?) to be dangerous, went for the one that appeared to be the most original: Serial number 1430 in .308 and featuring a Bofors barrel.
But how original is it? Is it a correct rear sight? (Please excuse the dust!) Are the sling swivels factory? All thoughts -- even negative thoughts -- are appreciated.
Thanks!
Dave
