• 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

Your Sako barreled rifle appears to be a Sako-Mauser which was built by Sako on an FN Mauser action. The safety wing appears to be a replacement from a Parker-Hale action according to the "PH" on it.

Thanks, that was quick. I've been trying to figure that out for a year now
would there be any way to get an original safety wing. I'm assuming not but....
I might not be following proper procedures asking all these questions in my hello. And if thats the case I'm sorry. I'm new to groups and fourms, but I do know the wealth of knowledge on the
 
would there be any way to get an original safety wing
There are thousands -- probably hundreds of thousands -- of FN Mauser actions floating around and the wing safety off of any of them would be "original" insofar as its origin, but if the PH safety is working I certainly wouldn't go to any trouble or expense to replace it. The Sako-Mausers are excellent rifles, but command no particular collector premium, so having the PH-marked wing doesn't devalue the rifle.
 
If anyone on EBAY would ship to you there are MANY Mauser Safeties for sale there.

good luck
