8-21-2005 I bought a 1956 Win 70 30-06 that had been rebarreled for $585
I put a Pac Nor 270 barrel on it, a Borden Rimrock stock on it and started shooting deer.

1-6-2012 I bought a 1953 Wim 70 308 that was minty, except for a broken stock wrist, for $400

2017 I put the 1956 stock on the 1953 barrelled action and except for me swapping out the sling studs, it looks original. My reaction to most rifles is to give them a new barrel, stock, trigger, scope, sling, etc. But if this can be original or close to original, I will leave it alone.

Then today I was looking at the butts. Is that plastic butt on the 1956 stock a Winchester part? Should I inlet the 1956 stock for the 1953 Aluminum butt plate?

TIA
