Just bought a Valmet 412 but need some info
« on: March 04, 2011, 03:13:33 PM »
I just bought a Valmet 412 O/U 12 GA I hunt everything from coyotes to black bear and I am really interested in finding a 12/243 barrel set for it. Dose anyone know of a good place to look for barrels and scope mounts?

Welcome to the forum... And congratulations on your purchase

The best place to look is gunbroker or auctionarms.  I have a 12/243 that I got from drillingman.  Another option is to keep an eye out for Tikka 512 barrel sets.

Also, if you need the manuals they are http://www.gboreloaded.com/forums/index.php/topic,212591.0.html

Thank you for the info and the welcome. I have been told that the tikka and Finn Classic 512 bbls have to be fit to the receiver but do the valmet bbl sets have to be fit to the receiver as well?

  Yes, even though they "may" go right on, they still may NOT be fit "properly".
