I really like the pre war guns but you have to change out the safety to a pre 64 type of safety..Some outfit used to make those and I can't recall the name, but they worked real well..Also at one time early on Win. would adapt their Mod.54, at no cost, to a pre 64 and those were excellent guns. I have owned a couple of those guns. My uncle mod 54 carbine was returned to Win for that operation, came back with a 70 bolt handle, and M-70 safety.
The best of the Mod. 70 pre 64s was 1952 as I recall.
