Lynn you realize the differences between a pre 64 FW and standard action are minor,only a drilled bolt handle ( in some cases) and alloy bottom metal.
You can easily get light BM today,and duplicate that drilled bolt handle so don't limit your options by not buying a standard action.
As to the Classic FW, there is NO difference between the FW action and a standard sporter. Once again, don't limit yourself.
Just an FYI.
Does he want the rifle without the stock (meaning barreled action)???? A little unclear on what the OP is looking for exactly..
Just the action. We will add the McMillan stock, SS barrel, coatings, mounts and glass. Never mentioned a barreled action, but if one is attached we can remove.
Ok, like Bob said, you might be better served looking for an action from a std. wt. model, as they are essentially the same thing. Sans the bottom metal... Sometimes you can find a complete std. wt rifle for a good buy. I actually pointed aguyinAK in the direction to one recently.....
