Sako 'Hand charging kits' for the L46 rifle.
Some of you may not have seen these before, so i thought i might share some photos.
This is some of the ones i have collected over the Years.
The early ones in 7x33 date back to the '50, and do not have a de-priming rod, but a pick to remove the Berdan primer from a twin flash hole case. They are also colour case hardened!
The later ones in 22 hornet and 22 veirling are mid '60's. They come with a rod to punch out the primer. They also have instructions dated 1964, and are printed in Finnish!
One thing which is interesting is that the projectile seating rod, is numbered to the 'code' of the projectile. So when changing projectile type, you would change the rod, to match the ogive. I have one kit in 30-06 which comes with three different ogive matched rods.
