• 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

Browning/Sako .243 cannon ball markings

I have a short action (FN) Browning/Sako Safari grade .243 It has cannon ball Ordnance markings on the bolt handle,barrel and action. Why the Ordnance markings on a hunting rifle?? It also has a Bausch & Lomb Balvar 8A on a Kuharski Bros mount (Erie Pa.).
Thanks, Mike
 
Just a guess based on the subject discussed years ago. I believe the markings denote ordnance grade steel. I have that rifle with those markings(flaming bomb). Someone may come along to expound on the subject, if not , you could ask the question on the browning forums or Gunbroker.com. Never hurts to know the details about your rifle. Best, Misako
