If I thought the PoundR fore end did not work well I would not have hunted it for 30+ years..... smile


Here they are side by side. Pair of FW 270's. I'll take the Brown. smile

The FW in the Brown, what technique was used for the bedding ahead of the receiver:

-Completely free to tip?
-Short barrel pad ahead receiver?
-Either above, w/ pressure pad at tip?
-Full length bed to tip?

Been looking at a M70 FW for a project for about 12 years now, collecting dust. It has a 22" Winchester FW contour. Been thinking about the Brown and a good bedding technique to settle down that contour.

Thanks!
