[QUOTE="7magcreedmoor, post: 977908, member: 48559"] Can't really see the rust you mentioned, so it should clean up with a little steel wool no problem. The "side release" is also the sear of the rifle. On the bottom release models, they omit the lever that rides outside the receiver, and came up with some more moving parts inside the stock beneath the trigger assembly, with a tab protruding through a hole in the trigger guard. I like the original better. One question I haven't asked an expert yet, which may be of interest to you is: if one removes the attached mag box from this rifle's receiver, can one then install the newer centerfeed mag in a new stock, since the centerfeed (both of mine are centerfeed) is attached to the bottom metal and not actually attached to the receiver?
