• 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

worn breach? dodgy batch ammo

Sako Collectors Club Discussion Forum

Hi guys,
Was out spotlighting the other night, think i got a dodgy batch of federal 80gns, some didn't sound right and one we noticed seem to flash out the breach a bit or so we thought. That shouldn't happen should it?
Anyway gave the L579 .243 a good clean, yeah its fun gettin the firin pin back in! Will test her out soon - think I legged a fox, haven't got one yet this year so I'm keen to get out again.

Super...did you have a good look at the brass afterwards? Ammo that has been wet will produce dangerous results like primer blowouts and such...been there done that, don't ever want to be there again...You may want to have the headspace checked by a qualified gunsmith just to be on the safe side. Also, you mention the firing pin and difficulty getting it back in...can you elaborate on this a little further?-Bloo
