Does anyone have a good picture of the difference between the earlier forearm checkering pattern (early to late 50's) and the later pre 64 FWT forearm checkering pattern? Thanks

Mid-1960....485,000 serial range....both of your Fwts are the early checkering pattern. One occasionally comes across earlier barreled actions "married" to stocks with the later pattern.

Top one is 1960+ with a composite butt plate. The coloring is also a dead give away. The bottom one is early with an aluminum butt plate.. That's one of the first times I didn't agree with pocono..
