Yes, but the sear/cocking piece layout of the Kenyon trigger is very different to that of say the standard Remington 700 trigger and most of the three lever variants of it. The pivot pin of the Kenyon sear is BEHIND the upstand or ledge (or whatever one wants to call it) on the sear that...

This matter had quite an airing a few months ago in another thread here about Sako actions. There may well have been some small Sako actions made at some time with larger receivers and/or bolts than the standard L461, but nobody who was involved in that discussion was able to provide any...

The Sako factory managed it without any drama. My factory Sako, single shot, Varmint model in 6PPC is built on the L461/AI action, with a 0.555" diameter bolt. It works fine - though I certainly don't run the hot sort of loads some BR shooters use. The factory also made repeaters built on...

I'm not planning to get Sinclair bore guides. What I had read about them ages ago was just something that crossed my mind when I was pondering over what different diameter bolts Sako may have used in short actions.

Quote: Below you will find the name of a great and reliable source of SAKO information. Thanks for the info. Can you give me any other details about this book, please? Author(s)? Publisher? ISBN number? Any of these would help in tracking it down. I’ve just had a recollection of reading...

Quote: To answer your question about "where" the action is bigger, I don't know. I'm not going to take apart my guns for that investigation. Why would you need to take anything apart? From simple measurements of the bolts and receivers of my 222 and 6PPC, I was able to verify that all their...

Wow – this gets even more confusing. I wonder if some things are getting scrambled in the translations from Finish to English? Or were Sako just lousy record keepers? What exactly do they mean by ‘designated’? What is actually stamped on the rifles, or what is written in their catalogues...

OK, I’ll take your word for it. I first became aware of Sakos being chambered for the PPC cartridges in the late eighties, and understood from what I read at the time that it was something new for them. So they must have chambered rifles for the PPC cartridges for around twenty years …

Quote - Brian Roberts: … SAKO conceded & brought out some single shots, but these were an accommodation to be achieved through an existing design; I believe they never wanted to get in to BR seriously, or the production of the accessories you mention … I can well imagine that Sako never had...

Sorry, but I don’t understand what you mean. Referring to my two actions, the outside diameters of the receivers are the same. The boltway diameters are the same. The bolt body diameters are the same. The bolt lengths are the same. The widths across the locking lugs are the same. The...

A couple of questions, if I may: Quote – J Valentine: Look, Sako made a huge massive error when it decided to ignore the needs of the International Benchrest and other competition shooting markets . They were too dumb to see that if they allowed aftermarket production of add on target triggers...

Jim Insert the firing pin assembly, with the lug on it lined up with the slot inside the bolt body. It will come to a stop with the nose of the cocking cam (the silver-coloured part fitted to the rear of the firing pin) contacting the rear face of the bolt body. Take a firm grip on the bolt...
