Sako L579 FLAIG'S
Just got this beautiful Sako and noticed "FLAIG'S" on the barrel just above the caliber. It kind of rung a bell so I googled it and it turns out they were a big time custom shop in Penn. back in the 50's through the 90's when the old man died. I just read where he was a NAZI sympathizer but one hell of a gunsmith. He used only Douglas barrels and this one is marked on the bottom under the wood "PREMIUM and dated 3-27-63. There is an old Redfield 3x9 in Sako rings. Gonna try to get her listed tonight. I also picked an old Sharps rifle in .45/110.
