The demise of the excellent Model 70, the Model 94 and the Model 12. The Model 61 and Model 62A .22 rifles had already bitten the dust. The post 64 Model 70 I bought in 1966 was a piece of junk. The Model 94s had some kind of zinc / junk metal receiver and roll pins instead of real pins in the linkage. It was a sad day for me but I'm not much of a plastic and stainless guy either and that is what is popular now. Just my opinion though and I understand differing opinions of other Campfire members.
