• 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

I've managed to take apart the bolt to my Sako Forester, L579 action. I cannot get it back together again. Any tips or pointers would be appreciated. I took it apart without unscrewing any screws. I'm not sure if that was the proper way to do
 
i took my finnbear bolt apart and had trouble to get it back together, i found that i had to apply pressure to the back of the bolt as i turned it to relieve the spring pressure,bearhunter
 
This is from Frank de Haas's book:
"Reassembling the firing mechanism is not easily done because the very stiff mainspring must be compressed. After inserting the bolt sleeve partly in the bolt, grasp the bolt firmly in one hand and the bolt sleeve between the thumb and crooked forefinger of the other hand, and being ready to turn it counter-clockwise; with the edge of the bolt sleeve held against the edge of a work bench or hardwood block held in a vice, depress the bolt sleeve into the bolt to full depth, or until it can be turned to lock it. After this, turn the bolt sleeve COUNTER CLOCKWISE until the cocking piece falls into the shallow full-cock notch in the rear of the bolt."

Hope this does the job

Cheers

Nick
