• 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

    Another Spam removal session

    Hey all! Another Caveat Emptor!! Scammers are lurking here and work in pairs or with several email addresses or other scamming crap!! I will implement new rules and set up a few more usergroups where one example could be that new members can’t send conversations until they have posted a...

    Sako / Otis

    Nice find! I had one but gave it away to one of my absolute best friends! They were part of the package of the 70th Anniversary Rifle in the somewhat boring, IMHO, .30-06 caliber. Came with a Zeiss scope, mounts, two boxes of ammo, the cleaning kit such as yours and a very nice wooden case...

    Update! Various semi-rare Sako items for sale!

    Mats are sold! Here are pics of the Sako lighter. I can’t say with 100% certainty that these were made in the hard times that followed WWII but I think so. Sako couldn’t find enough good materials to produce any huge numbers of firearms so they did a lot of other things like weaving machines...

    Complete set of Finnmark Letters from SCA

    As many of you know, Sako Collector’s Association wrote a member “newspaper” called Finnmark Letters between 1983 and 1993. These surface on ebay and other places on occassion but not very often and often just one o a few at the same time. We have a complete set (we believe), but there might be...

    After some discussion among us at the helm after I asked if there is any interest of purchasing pdf files of my entire collection of catalogues, we at SCC have decided to make some very interesting Sako history available for you all. Namely the entire set of Finnmark letters written by Mims...

    Found this Sako History you'll find it interesting

    Hej Jim! I just mentioned the Forrester since Bloo.., sorry Old Hippie mentioned one. But since you ask, the earlier the better. Always! And I have a thing for transition models too. And L46’s. Plus Sako Mausers, all the P versions, the Classic Grade and the Safari Grades and ……. into the...

    Found this Sako History you'll find it interesting

    If one has such a Forrester one ought to be proud! :) Very proud!:D But, in my opinion, and from what I have seen posted on (mainly other) forums, many newbies, some not-so well versed and quite a few really ignorant people very often come to the conclusion that since Bubba #1 owns a Forrester...

    Update! Various semi-rare Sako items for sale!

    Hey all! I may offend some of you now but as the Founder of SCC I think I have earned the right to list a few items here without a price as our T&C demands. As you all know, shit happens in life, and my fan’s all clogged up by poor health and also by some poor judgement by myself and no-one...

    Found this Sako History you'll find it interesting

    Like many posts on Wikipedia this one posted above, is not all bad or completely untrustworthy. Nor is it the (complete) thruth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I have been collecting Sakos and mainly Sako history since 20 years or so. I also have collected a heap of catalogs from...

    Found this Sako History you'll find it interesting

    Hey all! Some thread archeaology here but I stumbled across this one by chance. One thing I forgot to post is, the Wikipedia model history stems from a guy I had some interactions with maybe 15-16 years ago, or something like it. He asked me about the general history and models and I wrote it...
