I got a mod 70 govt 06 transition out of the PNW, I bought it to hunt, an oldtimer told me many,many years ago it was the best of both worlds in the mod 70 shooting ,hunting world. I looked at photos and knew the stock looked better than factory, sure enough the stock is far better than it walked out of factory, the metal was untouched and the bolt head, bore and way it shot, feed ramp told me it was shot very little, does the stock being refinished bother me ? True answer , not one bit! Im not trying to put a collection of NIB guns together, I shoot every one except this dam crate gun and if I ever get in the baby blue, 8 oz bud lites early in the day, I may do just that! Its all good with these pre 64's. very best WinPoor
