The 1943 Sako Mannerheim hunting rifle project is in full progress.Just finished the rough outline of my special order Arctic Birch stock .The only Mosin blank my stock duplicator had was a Monte Carlo type so I had to do much shaping to get it like this! As it was very light in color I dunked in some water to show the grain .Needless to say I am pleased .I have a close outline but much more work to be done. Have the Sako buttplate ,Sako extractor and Sako cocking piece. Was able to obtain an original Sako front sight .I have a partial rear sight here but my friend Bokmal has procured a complete rear sight in Finland for me that should arrive shortly. My M39 Sako doner rifle has a mint bore. Sling swivels and barrel band will arrive shortly .Bolt handle is being welded ; Lots of work to do!
