[QUOTE="Locknload, post: 1597824, member: 20333"] The cost to rebarrel a pre 64 Win is more than a new *** costs at Wally World, plus the Win action has a 3 screw floorplate making the mag box short. Just buy a Rem standard bolt face LA with the long box they come with. Everyone makes a Rem LA stock. If you want a Win style with a long box buy a MRC 1999 long action, they do not have the middle screw. It is a combination of a Pre 64 and a 98 Mauser with all of the good points and none of the bad. I built three of these, myself, two 300 WSMs and a 458 Lott. I am pretty sure they would put together a 280 AI barreled action for you, it is easy peasy stuff. The pre 64 actions by themselves are worth $600-800. Now, you best examine the Gibbs guns to see if you can tell whom made them. If they say R Gibbs or P Ackley on the barrel that rifle is worth several times what you may think, and it could well be, as a 1950s rifle. A fellow once showed me a pre war Win custom barred rifle that just said H Pope on the barrel, I had to do a double take, he got a great big grin on his face, the price of poker just went right through the ceiling. Then you just sell the complete rifles except you keep the record holder. Put that Husky in the road also, unless it is the record holder. Ed [/QUOTE]
