    I just sent an email to Sako, Finland, did add link to this conversation. Let's see if there's any kind of reaction to this situation.

    The Sako staff replied promptly to my email and this case has been given to the Sako Rifle Export division who are already looking into the problem. I find this kind of behaviour from the importer outrageous and something not filling the Sako worldwide standards.

    Or call their customer service: 031-700-9405
    Our local importer is the fly in the ointment. And SAKO tolerate it...

    Just for interest sake I've been waiting a week now just for a price on the part. The SA agents for Sako is really taking their sweet time. Got the prices and the parts ordered for my Remington in less time.

    G'Day Fella's,

    BigPiet, I'm not sure if this has already been suggestted, but I would go see a proper Gunsmith, and ask him to repair the forend.
    Find a Gunsmith that has Epoxy Bedding Material (Epoxy Resin/Glue), and get him to use the same stuff to glue the forend back together again.
    This job needs to be done by a person that knows their stuff, and will mask the forend up, before gluing and clamping it together.

    Well, thats what I would do, just to keep the rifle shooting, until a replacement forend arrives ..............(if required).

    Hope that helps

    D'oh!

    Just out of interest: is the Sako customer service situation the same as before or did my intervention cause any improvement?
