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!

If anyone is interested, stopped in Boyer Hardware in Slatington, PA and they had 3 very nice, super clean Deluxes in the used gun rack. All were 98%+. Pre-Garcia, L579 Deluxe 243 Win. Bofors, 15,xxx, oak leaf grip cap (pick of the litter, in my opinion), A11 Deluxe 22.250 : later model Deluxe...
Believe that here was a 7x57 on Gunbroker within the last year or so. I also look at Auction Zip regularly and there was another at a estate gun auction in Ohio within the last year.

Steve,
I too am thinking of dropping a Forester 308 with the slimmer contour pre-Garcia Bofors barrel in a McMillian Edge (the Garcia barrels have a heavier contour). What vintage is your rifle and was the barrel contour a factor when you placed your order? What model Mcmillian did you decide...
Thinking of dropping an early L579 Forester (288xx, 1964 or so manufacture?) in a McMillian Edge. The barrel has a noticeably slimmer contour than later production L579's. The McMillian Hunter stock accepts up to a #4 contour barrel. Using the Shilen website to determine barrel contour, I come...
Have had excellent results using ZAR paint and varnish remover.... a product of United Gilsonite Laboratories. Absolutely no problem removing polyurethane finishes using just a plastic Bondo spreader and a light touch from 0000 steel wool (no need for sandpaper) followed by a mineral spirits...
Misako,
Appreciate the info....
I have an early L579 Deluxe stock that will accomodate the wider bottom metal....honey colored, diamond inlay, forend cap slants the same way as the L57, skipline checkering, no crossbolt, sako pad (very nice, not crushed) and original sling swivels. Most likely...
A few questions about an L57 Deluxe stock....would it accomodate the larger bottom metal and does it have a diamond inlay in the gripcap? Any other distinguishing features?
Thanks,
PJ
Read somewhere (maybe on this forum) that some Sako rifles sold in Europe were equipped with a sight hood that was slanted at one end. Was told by the individual from whom I purchased this sight hood that it was off "some" European rifle. Perhaps a forum member on the other side of the pond can...
Came across a very clean Rhimaki 222 heavy barrel at a show today, Serial # 439xx, beautiful Arctic birch stock with a few, very light handling marks and Bofors barrel with the prettiest bluing one would ever want to see. Sling swivels were removed and studs were in place. There were also 4...
Semperdog...
My sense is that the electrical tape is responsible for the gap between the rings. You have 1" rings, a 1" scope tube and at least 2 layers of electrical tape....the tolerances are pretty tight, something has to give.

L46 218 BEE at auction....
Was at an auction here in PA tonight hoping to get a shot at an L46 218 BEE. The gun was pretty rough and even considering the rarity of the gun, didn't even place a bid as one person in attendance and a phone bidder slugged it out with the final price of $600.00 plus...
