• 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

Mannlicher L579 243

Good evening,
I am very new to the Sako Forum and decided to show off my latest purchase! I was really looking for an L579 in 308, but, couldn't pass this up! IMG_20140611_192509_215.jpg IMG_20140611_192540_529.jpg IMG_20140611_192544_398.jpg IMG_20140611_192552_090.jpg IMG_20140611_192630_205.jpg
 
I'm looking for more information about this rifle. Hoping someone can help me date it. From the serial number (174xx) I place it around 1960-61. Any other info would be great! Not sure if the Full Stock (Mannlicher) had different values, dates of manufacture etc.
Thanks for your help!
 
That's an early one, alright. The one-piece stocks (the fore piece is not separate from the rest of the stock) are uncommon in the Mannlicher. Congratulations on owning a really nice rifle.
