I really like those B&C stocks and with a little bedding job, you will be good to go.

Just found this thread after I posted a question in the Wildcat forum https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbth...C_Medalist_stock_Win_M70_que#Post5146092

I used the Delrin plastic spacer and I can't get the floorplate release to work. Anyone else have this problem?


I found a used McMillan made for the new FN produced winchesters and put it on a Winchester Classic. Instead of the derlin spacer I used 2 flat washers between the floorplate and stock. The floorplate fits flush and works fine. There is a tiny gap between the front sides of the triggerguard and the floorplate where the bottom metal is slightly different, but it is cosmetic and barely noticeable. Everything functions fine. Don't see why this would not work on a B&C stock as well

They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.
