• 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

    Barreled action seem to suggest that it was inspected without a stock. 'A-koht' must be Finnish. Hard to say what it means without context. 'Koht' could be 'kohta' meaning 'place, point, spot...' Hard to say why the 'a' would have been left out. Could be also 'kohdistus' which means 'adjustment...

    Sako pre finnwolf lever rifle

    And here's the translation. I apologize for mistakes but I did on my lunch break. Translation: The story of the caliber 9,3x53R started in 1942, when Sako started to manufacture cartridges in this caliber with full metal jacket and soft core bullets. The best known post war (meaning 1944)...

    Sako pre finnwolf lever rifle

    There's thousands of old military rifles in finland, quite often rebored or even rebarreled. The most usual ones are Sako made model m/28-30 (Finnish moist-nagant aka. "Rabbit ears") in 7.62*53R and Sako m/39. These "Rabbit ears" are still widely used as hunting rifles mainly for moose hunting...

    Block Letter "N" on L579 Barrel

    Continuing an old thread here. Have I understood correctly: the block "N" has only be found on Sako L57 and Sako L579 in .243 Winchester? I asked from Sakos recently retired head of ammunition production and also from a gunsmith of Sako but they had no idea. I'm doing my best to get the answer...

    Greetings from Sako homeland

    A new member from Finland, just bought my first Sako rifle. It's .308 SAKO L579 Deluxe. Unused, made 1970, just collected dust ever since. It was given to one of the Sako's craftsmen (as a retirement gift I assume). I'm going to find out the whole story and share it with you as soon as I can...
