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!

I may be wrong (especially re guns) but I recall hearing that it is best to use an older penny (softer as fully copper?) ... I forget the 'before which' dare.
Here is another 7x57 CZ or Brno but I do not know the model. Cdn auction in a couple of days. Just fyi.

Icebear, I was just browsing a Cdn dealer earlier today and noticed at ZF4 scope. I now learn, I think, that it is a Meopta. And on a Brno. Just browsing (as Rodney Dangerfield said in an old flick).

Website is playing tricks with me, so I hope this message is in the string about the AII with the two stocks.
Just a question to you experts to help the uninformed assess gun photos.
The third photo on the for-sale website shows the grip checkering. At the top left, an orange stain seems to...
Oddly enuf, mattimoose, I had been looking at the material in the immediately foregoing message last night.
As regards the Sako gear I got from the Helsinki shop, unfortunately for some time now they have been unable/unwilling to ship to Canada or USA.
I was thinking of getting another...
Just curious if anyone has worked with mammoth.
Pic below is a neat mammoth tusk 'fossil' purchased in Anchorage a few years ago for $60.
You can get mammoth across the border.
I assume though that one would need the white unweathered mammoth for craftsmanship.
I brought a buddy a few piece to...
Hello All,
Uncharacteristically, I threw in a single late bid on an L579AII without paying much attention.
I have never owned a fat barrel, and our range does have 500 yard targets and one of my kids is interested in that.
And the Sako high rings appealed.
And my limited knowledge suggested the...
7x57 photo nice to see. And a nice grouping of Valmet 412.
I wish I had seen 7x57 first (at Epps I think)
There is, as you no doubt know, a 12/222 412S at intersurplus.
But the cracked forend scares me ... may indicate a problem with ejectors? (or so I read anyway).
Somehow I missed these...
Hi Mattimoose
Again, well done with the new 412S ... would like to see photos.
Re the 412 barrel set at intersurplus (if I am looking at the right one), what scares me off (other than the fact that I already have the same thing) is the grading: "Very good bores with mild pitting".
I really have...
Hello Gents,
What is the secret to distinguishing a 412 barrel from a 412S barrel. Serial number? Engineering?
I suppose if I knew the date/serial number at which the 412S replaced the 412 that would do it.
Tomorrow a Canadian auction closes for a 412 12/6.5x55. I like the 6.5x55 but I...
It is not much related to the discussion (nor to Sako/Valmet/Tikka) but "ten shots quick" was a marketing theme for the Savage 1907. I have one of these oldtimers. Their marketing was very interesting, back in the day.
