One of the nicest, cleanest pre 64 Model 70's I have seen in a long while, here is an extra clean FWT in 308. Original owner tells me this came from momma with this recoil pad and some books indicate that these did come that way at times. That said, I am NO expert on pre 64's except in the fact that I love how they work and are dead tough reliable. Whether factory or not, here it is and it is PRETTY. Bolt face looks nearly unfired, and the extractor blade looks uncycled. Blueing and stock finish are absolutely perfect, as you will see in the photos. Heck, even the sight HOOD is still there! Not at all common on these, as the hoods tend to go flying off when the rifle is fired. I Can consider a partial trade for a Smith and Wesson 357, or a lightweight 44 revolver such as a Titanium Taurus, Smith 329PD, Charter arms Target bulldog etc and I would love to have another Kel Tec PMR30 as well. Description is accurate, and photos are many so all sales final. $1195 shipped to your FFL or C&R, slightly less if purchased in conjunction with its littermate, a 1946 Transition model in 270 with a Malcolm Smith Model G scope, also listed here.

I am not sure you are correct about that, I was told it was factory. I have not measured the LOP. Feels about like any other regular factory stock.

Everything I can find on the factory recoil pad option from Winchester involved their solid red recoil pad, that they used on their magnums. From what I read Winchester didn't use a honey comb recoil pad. Now if that recoil pad says Winchester mystery solved. Where are the Winchester experts at on this as well.

I'm not a Winchester expert, but let me tell you what stands out to me: You have a Type III variation II, which means it was most likely produced in '52. Serial # probably ranges from 206,000-240,xxx. Please correct me if I'm wrong. The stock is not original to the action since it has the small panel checkering which was produced after '59. The 308 fwt's never came with a recoil pad of any kind unless it was special ordered, but like I said the stock does not match the receiver. Mark, give us some more info on this rifle. You can post the first 3 #'s of the serial followed by "xxx" if you prefer, but give us something. The solid bolt knob is a tell tell hint as to when it was manufactured, unless this is a put together rifle. It's a nice fwt, but there are a couple things here that don't match up.

I am away from the home right now and cannot get a look at the rifle but surely will later today and get back with you. I am not a Winchester expert, so all of this is helping me with my learning curve. No one at the Winchester Forums mentioned any of these possible discrepancies. I may have to revise my price on this one down to a good shooter grade price. MARK LOVE God, LOVE your family, LOVE your country, LIKE guns and sports.
