[QUOTE="wwbrown, post: 1718961, member: 31392"] I won't do the entire stock build just the final inletting and finishing (oil) after the duplicator does the shaping and rough inletting. I will also have someone else do the inletting if I choose to include it. I assume the rebored barrel will be more than accurate enough as it is being done by JES, I have never had a barrel rebored but the vast majority of reviews of his work has been positive. If there are problems that cannot be resolved I will rebarrel it myself as I have the equipment and just enough knowledge to install barrels. Note: I don't claim to be a gunsmith, I can only do a very small subset of the operations a gunsmith can do. The cost of the 3 position safety is about $180 if I recall correctly. I think it is money well spent with hunting guns we rely on the safety for almost every hour we are in the field with them. Another advantage of the 3-position is the visibility of the state of the safety. I also think they add a touch of panache in a similar way the shadow line does. Another option would be to just have started with a win 70 in pre-64 configuration, but I like Mausers simply a preference as model 70's are fine guns without a doubt. Just more thoughts, wade [/QUOTE]
