• 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

reboring a bofors barrel

I have found a spare Bofors steel barrel for my L579 and would like to rebore it from .243 to 7mm-08. Has anyone had any experience with reboring Sako barrels? Any special considerations? Would there be a standard twist for the rifling? I want to keep the original barrel so I can restore the rifle at some point. Thanks.
 
There should be no issues in reboring the Bofors barrel that are not involved in reboring other barrels. Normally, I might urge someone not to modify a Bofors barrel in order to maintain its originality, but the .243 is so common that I don't think it is an issue. It would be nice to have a "Bofors" 7mm/08 (or .260 Rem, .338 Federal, or .358 Winchester, all of which are based on the .308 case with no other modification.)
