• 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

Just wondering. I see a lot of talk about the AV action and Pre-Garcia. I bought my rifle, an AIII action in 270 Win, through the Rod and Gun Club at NAS Sigonella Sicily in the fall of 1979. What have I got. I'm not complaining about the rifle in the least as I've literally killed a few hundred whitetails with it over the years. It is my "go to" rifle for everything in the SE US. I've changed out the stock trigger for a Timney and with the right hand load or with Federal Premium (with the TSX bullet that Federal doesn't load any more) it shoots just under MOA.

Ya'll have a good day, Capt. Guy / MisStress Charters
 
Capt, you nailed it your rifle is an AIII, Same as the L61R with the addition of a shroud at the rear of the bolt which was added to protect the face in the event of a primer rupture. The AIII had a slightly different stock design. The AIII was followed by the AV (A5) but The actions were basically the same. The AV had a longer tang on the receiver and yet another stock design. All great rifles!
