• 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

    Sako question

    Got a little more 8nfo on my Sako. My brother was going through some of my step dads stuff and came across this paper Paul had taken notes on. It appears the engraving was done by Jeff Flannery. I'm going to teach out to him and see if he leaves a mark on it somewhere so I can confirm.

    Sako question

    The folks at Century Arms have been more than helpful. My initial e-mail received an auto reply saying they would get back with me in 24-48 hours. About 2 hours later I got an e-mail asking me for pictures of all the markings (serial, import barrel) on the rifle. I sent him the pictures and...

    Sako question

    Thank you for the imput. Those are pretty much the conclusions I came up with right now. What I know about the rifle is that someone needed money and asked my Step-father for a loan years ago. The guy gave Paul (Step-Dad) the rifle to hold and was supposed to get it back when he re-paid the...

    Sako question

    Here's a couple more. If anybody could shed any light on this I'm all ears. There's a box of 50 rounds with 13 pieces of fired brass. I was told that's all that ever went through it. Well, until I too it ot the other day. I put 20 more through it. A very smooth action

    Sako question

    Thanks for the info. My research isn't turning up much. I've seen Sako stocks with the same checkering on the butt stock but nothing like that I have on the forend. As for the engraving I haven't come across this design yet, but looking at the detail around the action screws it appears to be...
