Surprised this is still here - bump for a fine rifle and a great seller! Yes I thought I had priced it right for a Featherweight.
I am always looking for factory wood stocks!

Why has this not moved? Come on people everybody , if they claim to a rifleman,has to own a pre 64 model 70 . I have my share including one in same same caliber but it’s still hard to pass up even as a shooter.

Duke, trying to get my post to play with you big boys. Gather your a fan of John Wayne as am I. His best the searchers right? I admired him most not for his acting but his honor and love of country.

Yes sir, agree with all you wrote my friend, but I love his acting as well, there hasn't been anyone like him since he passed away. I hope this Pre 64 sells, its a great rifle and in normal times it would have fetched over 1k and sold within minutes.

You are 100% , correct. There were a lot of real men in Hollywood in Wayne’s era, contrast that with today’s leading men, many of who, are great actors but are small in stature, do not project the maleness or values of the old timers plus most of them neither appreciate American nor care for the nations honor and heritage

There looks to be a barrel band with the Allen screw So the stock was altered to fit Hurts it collected value but as a shooter it’s just fine The band on the barrel probbly can’t be removed without damage to finish. But it’s still a great rifle for the money.

Wonder why they put that band on it , lost the dovetailed escutcheon or whatever right terminology is ? Will make someone a fine hunting rifle . No, the FW's never had it, just the standards did. I am guessing they were trying to make a 1 inch gun a 1/2" gun with some backyard gunsmithing. Some guys should only be allowed to own a Savage Axis. Amen!!! Great listing and honest details. Good luck with the sale of the rifle buddy. It's a shame what that guy did to it, but if it shoots, I'd just use it like it is. Someone could do like you said as well, and fill in the hole and remove the band. Generally these fwt's shoot lights out with a full freefloat on the barrel. Or bedding under the chamber, in the recoil lug and tang. I'm assuming this rifle is not glass bedded. They probably could have got it to shoot very well, with a good glass bedding job and proper freefloat. But if the receiver was a little sloppy in the stock, then securing the barrel like it is, will sometimes help with accuracy. Real oldschool way of attacking it though.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I am going to withdraw this. I took it apart, removed the barrel band and will just fill in the small hole in the stock and shoot it. Thanks all for the kind words.
