Glenn....... Funny you should mention Wanted: Dead or Alive......I found the season one dvd set in my stocking this Xmas. Let the good times roll !! I still remember high school in OKC.....at about 10pm each night...for awhile. We'd stop in a parking lot, across the street from a drive-in...

We received record snow here, in Wichita Falls. The wife almost stuck the 4Runner, getting back into the garage!! A RARE White Christmas for us!! Kevin

Francis IS..... ......"Innocent"........isn't he?????? :) Kevin

Cleaning bullets prior to moly impact plating. I clean with household ammonia.......very cheap stuff. Put bullets in wire strainer.......dip/swish in ammonia for 60 seconds. Hot water rinse 2 minutes. Hot hairdryer(bullets in old butter tub) 3 minutes. Clean bullets..............no more...

Gotta agree about the Leica Geovid's...... ....as my old 7X42 Geovid has ranged an individual PD at 661 yards. It has the finest beam divergence of any rangefinder that I'm aware of......at 0.3 by 1.5 milliradians. Kevin P.S. Last year I found this.....

"Innocent" Francis....... ......and other mentors on the board, helped me build this. Kevin one more pic

Pic posting site may be down. I'll email him. Kevin

Brian....... I've been fortunate to have collected many items related to the O'Brien Rifle Company, and Vern O'Brien, over the years. The man on the right, in the pic, is Vern O'brien's brother, Mickey. The photo was probably taken at the Golden Nugget Casino. Kevin Here's a pic of the...

Brian......... The small/sub-caliber site is saubier.com. You'll find more information, than you thought possible, there. Tell'em I sent ya! BTW......many, on this site, will know THIS gentleman....who also liked 17's. Kevin

Al....... That's probably a good guess......as I'm not sure. Kevin P.S. Here's a copy of O'Brien's one, and only, ad.

Yep....I guess so.... ....but I've been messing with the 17's for a long time. Kevin P.S. Here's some metalwork on another O'Brien 17 Magnum. And the rifle.

Brian...... For lack of a better explaination, I feel that Sako made many "transition" (from Garcia to Stoeger) small actions in the early 80's. Many Sako fans will also say that the blued finish on these particular actions was not up-to-snuff. Anyway, during this time it appears that the...

Al, I'm not really sure...... .....what they actually sell for, but I've seen them advertised for 900 to 1600 bucks. If anyone's interested, I've a factory takeoff Sako 6PPC barrel I'd sell. I'm still a little partial to the L461 action though. Here's a pic of one of my older ones. It's an...

Nice rifle AL !! I have one just like it, in 22PPC.......they are single-shot AI actions. Nice triggers, huh? Here's a pic of an AI repeater action in a stock(it's in-the-white). I plan on building a coyote rifle on it, chambered in 20 Duster. Kevin

Sako action pics I'm reposting the L461 factory single-shot pic, plus a pic of a repeater L461 action. Also, I'll note a couple of other differences between the L461 and AI actions. The AI action recoil lug front is tapered to the action face, whereas the L461 lugface is flat. Also, the AI...

With much mentoring....... .......from the guys on this forum, I built the turning set-up below. The K&M turner system works very well. One note though......for best neckwall uniformity, one end of the turning set-up must be allowed to "float".......because cases are not absolutely straight...

The pic hosting site is down. I'll post more pics when it's back up. Kevin

Brian....... See page 1, of this thread, for a pic of a factory single-shot L461 action. That action is now the basis of my 17-222 PD rifle. Sako also made the L579 in such an arrangement. The actions were shown in an old Gun Digest......don't remember which digest. Hope this helps. Kevin

Yep....... ......except that they are AI actions. Not L461 actions. The AI actions, used for these BR rifles, are truely solid bottom actions. The earlier single-shot L461 actions had factory plates pinned into a machined opening in the action bottom. Kevin

Al....... I do not think they are three digit serial numbers, as mine is "PPC B 150". Rather I believe the serial number actually is the complete "PPC B 559". Kevin
