    PRE 64 Model 70 Target rifle

    FBI Sniper Rifles

    Going to drop off the parts for a model 70 build to the Smith this week. J-huskey and Skunk: were there any specific stampings or marking on the rifles? Sweet being a former 2112, he didn't do any of the M40 Type stampings on the FBI rifles, correct? No Electro pencil US engravings? Just...

    M45A1 serving on...

    I always check there various sites for custom 1911's built on GI frames. You can find donor guns, that may already have the correct grip and or thumb safeties. If its been stippled, you're throwing some Pachmayers over the stippling, so it won't been seen. The best part is its collector value...

    Vintage Winchester Model 70: 30.06 target rifle w/ Unertl Scope

    I think I read that the springs rusted very quickly in the WWII Pacific theater and that dirt and debris could get caught in them. so they removed them from the rifles to help protect the optic. I’d imagine they’d do the same in RVN.

    WIN 70 NATIONAL MATCH DID I GET HAD

    Douglas will barrel the receiver too, their lead time is in weeks, not months. You can also send them the reamer if you have a specific one you want. These model 70 threads are making me regret some life decisions...
