[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 2522664, member: 24284"] Post 64 70s have been made in push feed, push controlled round feed, and controlled round feed with that 'claw' extractor, like yours has. The Post 64 "Classic" models are fashioned like the Pre 64 model rifles, they have the "claw" extractor. Hence, the "Classic" designation, as the Pre 64 Winchester Model 70s are often called and considered a classics firearm, because of the time in which they were made. You have a Post 64 Featherweight Classic. FN bought the Winchester name and some of their rifles were made in Portugal, and now they have a manufacturing plant in South Carolina. The FN made rifles don't have the "G" prefixed serial number. [/QUOTE]
