[QUOTE="Ross1147, post: 1935089, member: 106919"] So I inherited my grandpas model 70 when he passed 2 years ago. Finally got up the nerve to sit down to start working on it today. I really don’t want a 30-06, but can’t seem to find it in me to change the barrel. So I figured I’ll pull it and send it to JES and get him to bore it out to a 35 Whelen. That way I get to keep original barrel. Question here is are all ~1970s M70s this rough? Some of these edges are sharp enough to cut it you’re not watching out. Or, was there some work done on thus gun at some point? Also, why are there 2 screws in the side for what looks like to be a side bolt release? Or are they mounts for some side peep site or something? Thanks! [ATTACH type="full"]201828[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]201829[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]201830[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
