Any interest in a pristine sightless M70 FWT built in 1961...not a Gopher Special... Posted a couple of pics on Image Gallery.

I can't figure out where the pics went, I uploaded several in the image gallery. The caliber is 270 Win, it is a special order S/N 541371, made in '61 I think. It would have to be a special order after the Gopher Specials because of the interest I guess. If someone can help me with resizing images...they are mostly over 2 mg.

My email is gbmotorsport gmail.com. Send me an email and I will attach pics. I have posted hundreds of pics on my favorite Porsche 911 web site, and had over a million views of my threads....this site is difficult!

Gopher Specials were from 1958 iirc, I'm not in front of Rule.
Edit: just consulted Rule Gophet Shooters Supply placedthe order in 1959, Winchester took nearly a year for delivery.

Interesting! Would be interesting to see the barrel nomenclature and get a length spec!
