I have no idea who built it. reasonable build quality but no where near the previous rifles in this thread. It's a 1937 4 digit serial number in 270 WCF. Last edited by 1911a1; 05/31/16.

Change from 308 to 25-06. Watch feeding. The rails are part of the receiver in the pre 64 action and unique to the cartridge. The longer cartridge will pop off the rails sooner once you swap out the mag box to 30/06 length. I had a 308 action that I turned into a 270. It fed like crap. Didn't like it at all. Maybe yours will be Ok....don't know. Good luck. The 280 Remington is overbore. The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

Yup. 30/06 to 270 will work. I was not happy with 308 to the 30/06 length. The 280 Remington is overbore. The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
