[QUOTE="Gene, post: 655651, member: 7402"] I used to collect Sakos, had a bunch of em, still have a few to sell. I always remove the bolts and hide those in an old shoe box on my gun room closet shelf. (No body would look there??) Well I had requests to sell three of them, put the bolts in em, took photos, and removed the bolts. Put the guns back in my gun cabinets without bolts, as usual. Four or so months later, got the bolt box down, and the three bolts were not there. I could not remember what I did with them. I put out a $100 reward for anyone who could find them. My cleaning lady, my son, and I looked in every closet, upstairs, in cellar, under furniture, etc., etc., but no luck. Two months later I was getting desperate. Had another sale for one Sako, but the bolt was still missing. I then increased the reward to $300. My youingest son was in need of mucho cash. He spent an hour looking, and lo and behold, he found them inside a sealed manila envelope on the closet floor. I had completely forgotten I put them in that bag. Morale : Its hell to be gettin old! Keep looking in places you would never consider, they will turn up. BTW, I collected Sakos for many years, and those bolts are not available. [/QUOTE]
