Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Winchester Collectors Questin for the Winchester experts

I needed a stock for my post 64 M70 in 225Win, so I bought a post 64 M70 that did not have a bolt. So now I am the proud owner of a barrelled action without a bolt. I'm assuming that the barrel would have some resale value, but not sure a bolt-less barrelled action would be worth much.

Should I have the barrel removed and junk the action? Or try to sell it as is? Or try to find a bolt?

The barrel is also a 225, BTW.

Thanks for your thoughts.
