Hey guys,

I have a Sako 22 Hornet rifle. It seems to be one of the first actions Sako made in this calibre.

I have serious extractor problems and would like to replace the extractor but I can not find one at a dealer anywhere in South Africa or on the web.

Can some one please help?

Gerhard

Sako parts, for discontinued models, are hard to come by in the US. I would try Sako in Finland. They are not very responsive, but if you keep trying, you might get an answer. I would venture to guess that it would be easier to build up the extractor and re-shape it.

Thank you AZ Pete.

I tried to contact SAKO in Finland via email but had no response.

I will look around to find someone that can build a new one out of spring steel.

Contact www.jackfirstgun.com Is your modela L78 Hunter? Also check with www.e-gunparts.com,they have sako parts.

HOw old a gun is that?
I just broke one myself on a Vixen. Bought the gun new in 72.

Thanks, and good luck,

George

I dont knonw George, as far as I know its an old action.

Good luck in getting your rifle fixed.

You might try calling Jim Lutes in Kansas. Crusty old fart but he has theparts for about every Sako ever made! Catch him in a good mood and he`s really nice. LOL

Gerhard, if you need any legwork done on this side of the pond, just let me know.

Good luck,
Troy

Thank you for the offer Troy.

I will let you know.

Enjoy the day.

Gerhard

Thank you for all the advice.

I won second price.

By that I mean that I had a copy made by a local gunsmith, he used a shotgun hammer spring.

It looks like it will work but dont know for how long.
