    Van Orden Winchester M-70 's

    Several years ago I had the opportunity to copy the build cards Evaluators created for each rifle. Each card showed order date, model number, serial number, purchaser, address shipped to, shipped date, etc.

    Van Orden Winchester M-70 's

    Bill did have a Van Orden, Serial Number 254544, delivered 08/1953. I will have to go back in the records to see what model that was. The rifle he used in Korea was, in all likelihood, purchased from Winchester. It will take me a few days to dig out the records.

    Van Orden Winchester M-70 's

    I wish I could get into the NRA archives. I wonder if they kept serial numbers of the rifles used in the matches. When I spoke to Frank Mallory many years ago, he thought he had serial numbers of the USMC rifles used in the 1954 National Matches. Unfortunately, I never followed up with him.
