Wow, old thread. Some of these guys are out of business, some fresh out of the clink, others have passed into the great machine shop in the sky.
As an aside, I bought a nice Model 70 a few months ago with PT&G Oberndorf bottom metal. It has a custom feature that allows me to see the tops of my boots through the loading port about 60% of the time I pull the trigger. Neat feature.
