PM coming to you

Thanks for the update, Mike. Travel again this week but should get to range with it soon.

Sounds good. Thanks, Mike.

suggest you keep that CQB...........

Mike, Sent a PM earlier, finally back again.

Nice. Been away since early June (travel) and missed this one.

Am near Tulsa, OK , or in CO (Gunnison area) unless "they" pull my chain. Sounds like the place at Rose, OK would be nearest for you. Open Range Shooter's Retreat near Ramona, OK might be worth checking into, but that is farther away from you (approx 100 miles). Fouled Bore is near...

https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/attachments/img_2837-jpeg.8130659/ zoom that image, from top of picture down to lugs 4 (Prague) and 5 (OK) My apology for not replying earlier, but have been away (occupational necessity)

On top of the rail, it says "Prague OK". That's where I saw actions being made (and rifles built) before the operation moved to Arizona (now part of SAC). The OK location on Moccasin Trail Road was roughly between the towns of Prague, OK and Shawnee, OK. Nice rife.

After getting in touch with Glen and confirming the serial number sent to my FFL, was able to complete the transfer and sent it to Mike. Received confirmation that my action was delivered to TacOps (front desk?) on Tuesday 04 APR at 0956, proof of delivery-received by Melissa.

Nice. I like the pre-64 and pre-war Model 70s. If it was made in 1949, think that would be a transition model, the rear tang would be different than the actions built a year or two later. The transition action has the same rear tang as a pre-war action, IIRC.

Price?

Mike, PM sent - Late getting in, will take one, if any are left. Let me know.

Hate to hear about this if you got the "starter kit" check and see if you used one of the solvents instead of the oil the time where you smelled an ammonia smell seems suspicious IMO I went to their "site", looked for and then searched for Material Safety Data Sheet for their stuff, nada...

Have 20" barrel Winchester Model 70 Carbine. Good to carry and hunt with. (My Dad had a Model 70 Pre-War that I used several times when in high school) Does not shoot well with bullets lighter than ~168, so I use heavier bullets, 175gr and up in this one.
