Hello all,
I had this rifle passed down to me from my grandfather. I know he had purchased it somewhere in Connecticut, but do not know too much more about the rifle or gunsmith. I can tell that it is a L61R Sako action from the stamping... but other than the obvious, I am stumped. The fable was that it was made by someone who turned barrels after hours in the old colt plant, but we are not sure.
Even if anyone has any guesses on what the script writing says, I am all ears and will follow up on any leads. Just want to know more about it and its history. Any info on the serial number on the action is appreciated as well.
Respectfully,
T
