    Wanted Sako Rear Ring

    I'm looking for an original Sako rear ring to fit dovetail. Actually, I only need the bottom portion of the ring. Condition not important as long as it will fasten to dovetail. Hoping someone has one lying around. Might consider Leupold rear ring for Sako dovetail. Thanks.

    Sorry, no. Those are another brand that includes a separate base that fits over the Sako dovetail.

    Chapius Iphisi 375h&h

    Everytime I see a pic of a Chapuis double, I wonder why the mfg. doesn't look at a classic English double or even a Heym 89 to see what a forearm and pistol grip should look like. It wouldn't cost any more to build an English style and I can't imagine how anyone would prefer the current design...

    I believe the UPS stores are privately owned and can make their own policies and rules.

    Heym 7x64

    Sorry for the hijack. I originally responded to a poster's comment that the rifle in question might be a Western Field by Heym. Search for western field on this site to see a couple for sale. `

    Heym 7x64

    They weren't making guns for each other. FN first supplied the FN24 to Yugoslavia. They licensed Kragujevek Arsenal to produce the Yugo 24. I believe they may also have provided tooling. Just a supplier/customer relationship. The 48 was just a modified 24 and the commercial product was...

    Heym 7x64

    Just an addendum. The Yugo 24 was an intermediate action provided to Yugoslavia by FN. It was later mfg under license from FN Herstal by Kragujevac Arsenal which became Zastava, who also modified the 24's to 48's. That probably explains the early commercial action utilizing the same tooling.

    Heym 7x64

    Think what you will. No one said that Zastava and FN were in business together. Also, they were intemediate length with hole spacing of 7.62". Your ignorance of the rifles doesn't mean they weren't made and sold. Your experience with post -69 Zastavas is correct - they were regular length...

    Heym 7x64

    No, they were not FN actions. FN wasn't making a commercial intermediate action at the time. There have been discussions on another forum and there is general agreement that they were made by Zastava, perhaps licensed by FN and possible using FN tooling. To my knowledge, they were not branded...

    Heym 7x64

    The actions were built by Zastava and were barreled and stocked by Heym in the late 1950's and/or early 1960's. They were sold by Montgomery Ward branded Western Field model 720 (and others). The actions were intermediate length and were milled out in the front for longer cartridges such as...

    Heym 7x64

    The Western Field/Heym were built on Zastava intermediate actions and didn't have the thumb cut.
