thank you very much winchester70. im really excited for it. would you consider 1000 brand new in the box a good deal? Personally, I saw too many 7 digit examples (2003-2006) that turned me off quality wise, plus I really don't like the very dark walnut finish. But that doesn't mean yours isn't a good one. It does still have the best factory hunting trigger ever made, and if the function is fine and the looks suit you, enjoy it. the dark walnut is what drew me to it, having a liking towards super grades with dark wood as well, this one was just too special. ill be sure to post it up here for everyone to see as soon as i lay my hands on it. but first i have to sell the cdl sf in order to get my hands on this one!

ended up being a 22 tagged 24 on the box They were all mismarked in that time period. There is no 24” Fwt barrel, only 22” or shorter, with 1/4” bbl. shank.

Yep, a 7 digit M70 with the dark stock and slabbed bolt shroud at the safety. Only unusual thing is the red recoil pad, rather than black. They were likely using up what was left of the red inventory before going to black. Perhaps this is an early 7 digit model?

Are you counting the “G” as a digit? A “G” four digit will be an early 90’s CS gun ...

CS - custom shop. And edited my above for clarity, as how it read and what was meant didn’t match. Not enough coffee! Win70 is of course correct on a FIVE digit starting 51 being ‘93.

looking for info on this serial G10436 it has a boss system on it, what year was it made and was the boss a factory option? also, where can i find a book or website that lets me look up serials. seems like most dont let you do input with the g prefix on it.

Just found an XTR Sporter, (push feed) 25-06 in near new condition, Ser/ G20509XX. Red pad, 24" barrel.
From the input shown on this thread, I'm guessing '92-93 manuf?
Thanks for any effort toward nailing this one down.

I have never been able to find a listing of serial numbers vs years for the G series model 70's can someone give me a manufacture date on my model 70 Fwt. - G1674xx
I think I remember buying it in the mid-90's but I am starting to question myself, not that it matters all that much because it is not going anywhere.
Thanks in advance - drover
