No , the sako 75 bolt shroud and firing pin are one piece.

Hoping there is some way to get rid of the plastic one on an A7

There was someone making a metal replacement shroud for the T3 a little pricey but they looked ok

Didn't someone on here replace their's with a Sako 85 shoud.

I think Sammo replaced his A7 shroud with one of those "new improved" ones.

He doesn't have much else to do, except shovel snow.

Sam did replace his with a regular Mod 85 shroud, he said it went right on easy as pie, he put up a picture of it and it looked great, I would do this if I bought an A7...........Hillbilly.

We got blasted pretty good last night. Needed 4x4 to get out of the driveway, country was drift central. Got home about 30 minutes ago, took a hot shower and found some whiskey!

Brownells had 'em this Summer.

Damn Sam, that's a huge improvement!.............Hillbilly.

Oh yeah Craig it was a slick deal, looks better and is solid steel unlike the plastic covered version.

I might spray paint the bottom plastic silver next.....grin

Thanks, $39.48 and in stock. What is with the tape?

Any tricks or fitting required?
Posted By: SamOlson Re: Sako A7 bolt shroud - 01/23/11
Takes less than a minute to swap, turn the old one off, turn the new one on.

Tape is redneck palm swell.

Thanks. I guess I will order one from Brownells.
