In the case of my Sako Vixen l461 222 Remington Magnum Heavy Barrel, serial number 104911 it would seem to fall between 1969-1973. Based on Sako's records 77,234 L461 rifles were made between late 1962 and the end of 1973, averaging 7023 per year. Sako rifle in 30-06 with no sights. Receiver marked 'Sako AV' and serial number 584xxx. On the underside of the blued barrel, just forward of the fore-end, it says 'imported by Stoeger, N.J.' The wooden stock is checkered and has a nice grain, but is otherwise unremarkable (no fancy gold elk's head inlet into the stock).
I am interested in uying a used Sako L579 Sako Forrester, serial number 301872, and would like to know when it was manufactured. Need an urgent reply please Made @ 1974. Sako Date of Manufacture by Serial Number? Anyone have a website/link for checking Sako serial numbers to find out Date of Manufacture? There are some web sources with a few references for pre-1972 Sako's but apparently none for later vintage guns. (Right now, I'm trying to find out a date for a Finnbear, ser #522xxx). This reference model number is a combination of two numbers: movement caliber; case code; Each of these two numbers are four digits long and they are separated by a hyphen. In the example images the reference model number is highlighted in red. The other number you will need is the serial number. This is also on the case back and is six digits. Sako Rifle Serial Number Lookup 39892 When was my sako AIII rifle serial number 549414 manufactured?

To all who have these rifles please be advised of the recall on T3 Stainless rifles with serial numbers starting with 419140 and going to 461951.I was about to buy a Tikka with the serial number 435081 and the Stoeger rep told me my rifle was fine and safe to shoot.Although he would not give me any guarantee especially when the serial number fell within the list he provided. Hows that for PR work on the buying public ? The Sako rifles are affected too as they use the same barrel manufacturer. If you have one of the rifles with those serial numbers you are urged to call Beretta USA at 1 800 636-3420. In Canada call Stoeger they are the Canadian importers for Tikka and Sako rifles at 1800 263 1945. The rifles in question have barrels made from sub standard steel and are subject to rupture.If you call don't let the sales rep tell you the rifles are fine, they are walking the company line on this one.Stoeger Canada said they are sending letters to all who bought these rifles.What about if the rifle has been sold a few times?Look up the story about the Sako that blew up in Victoria BC , Canada and you will see that it was one of these rifles in question.Of course they made it out to be the shooters fault by saying he overloaded the rifle but in reality he was using factory ammo that resulted in the blown up rifle.

American man injured when Sako rifle explodes

'The target was 200 yards away when I pulled the trigger. The gun let out a powerful explosive sound that I had never heard before, and it broke up in my hands', he explains. He was rushed to hospital with four broken bones in his hand. He was in surgery for four hours.
After the incident, Sako ordered a recall of its series of 2,700 weapons.
Sako CEO Henry Paasikivi says that a total of six guns are known to have malfunctioned in the same way - one of them in Finland. In one case, a Swedish boy lost the tip of his thumb.
The barrels would break up lengthwise into several fragments, and in some cases, other parts of the gun also broke. The problem was attributed to a weakness in the stainless steel used in the manufacture. Guns of the series in question were sold to several countries, from the United States to New Zealand, before the defect was noticed.
All buyers have been notified, and most of the guns have been returned to the factory for repairs or replacement, except for a few in the United States.
The faulty rifles were manufactured at the company's factory in Riihimäki last year. They include Sako and Tikka models.
When the problems arose, Sako immediately discontinued production and deliveries of the models, and began to recall them from retailers, and contacted individual buyers.
However, the company did not make any public statements at the time. 'We did not consider that necessary, because we were able to reach all owners of the weapons in other ways', he said.
'We have got all of the guns back, except in the United States, and 90 percent of the weapons we sold there have been located. All consumers have been contacted a long time ago.'
Paasikivi says that the weapons will be repaired, if necessary, and sent back to the owners.
