• 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

What is the length of the barrel from the end of the receiver to the top of the barrel for a L46 Riihmaki Sporter .222?

Thanks

Largemouth: Where did that figure come from? Sako small action barrels (L46 and L461) have always been about 600mm (about 23.62") for the sporter, or 510mm (about 20.07") for the carbines. Subtract roughly a half-inch for threads and you have 23" and 19.5" to the receiver ring face, respectively. A measurment of 21 3/4 would equal approximately a 22.25" barrel. Sako did make some barrels of approximately this length in much later years, but never, no my knowledge, in the L46 era.
