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!

Thank you for the encouragement! It's been cold and icy here, so I have been spending a lot of time indoors. I hope to have the rifle finished before gardening and lawn mowing season arrives.
Metric threads are a bit of a challenge for me. My lathe is a South Bend 13" and cuts inch threads. I bought a metric transposing gear on Ebay. It is a 3D printed gear and is not a perfect ratio, but the ideal metal gears are much more costly. It is not a perfect system but it works. For...
The barrel is a Douglas Barrels .22 CF, 1:12 twist, #4 heavy sporter in chrome moly. I have it set up in the lathe ready to start cutting. I know the chambering of rifle barrels is one of the most opinionated subjects around. Suffice to say, this is how I do it. It works for me. Your...
I found a drawing for a L57 barrel stub in Frank De Haas book Bolt Action Rifles. I took measurements from my action and created some drawings to work to.
Upon closer examination I found the magazine box had been ground down. I inlet the action and the bottom metal to the stock. A measurement could then be made between the two. 0.2 inches was added to the magazine box. you can see the repair in the above post.
Hi all, thought I would show my current project.
I was looking for a winter project at a recent gun show when I found a Sako action. I have never owned a Sako but it seemed like a workable start. The action looked complete with the trigger, magazine, and bottom metal.
I decided to build a...
I think I have it figured out. I am restocking with a semi inlet stock, not sure if it is exactly as original. I fully inlet the action and the bottom metal and then measured between the two. I needed to add 0.2 inches all around.
Thanks for looking!
