That action that does not show an external mauser style extractor again: push feed actionHey Moron, I hope you don't drive with that poor of vision.
I was thinking the other day how much I used to hate Bill Clinton. He was freaking George Washington compared to what they are now.

One can also blow up the picture and see that the rifle has a 300k serial number.

Geese, we all know what a push feed M 70 looks like. And we all (except you,apparently) can see a pre 64 with a jeweled bolt and extractor. Try cleaning your glasses, or perhaps pulling your head out. Too late in the night time to be laughing like this... ![laugh laugh](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/default/laugh.gif)
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Now, how in hell BSA can read the serial number to date the gun is a mystery to me . . .
Well, I guess I can blow it up enough to make pretty good guess. I'm having the most trouble with the second digit from the left. It's an "8"

JOC was right. The 270 Winchester on a Model 70 is a great combination as is the 30/06 and 375 H&H

Thanks for all the comments, I will post a picture later of the extractor. Lol. If the first three numbers are 360, what year was it made? I thought it was 1954?

Your gun (#360482) was serialized in mid-December of 1955....

Great pick up Chance, and welcome to the world of pre 64 model 70 ownership. There were a ton of guys that had their bolt and extractor jeweled, very popular mod back then. The only thing for us today other than it not being original if that bothers you or not is that most the time they jeweled the serial right off the bottom of the bolt. If they did jewel it off it may be wise to have it checked prior to firing.

Guess that will teach me to cast stones. I think BSA thought it was an "8" as well.

Ha ha.. I thought it was a 6, but when I looked at the book late last night, I figured it was first of the year '56, since on the 3rd. of January they were at 361,355. Probably was a very late '55 model, or even possibly first of the year '56 though. However, Pocono might be right ("mid" to late December).... Those Winchester guys were probably partying right before Christmas and the New Year, when that one was being made. Hopefully it's a good one... ![laugh laugh](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/default/laugh.gif)

Nice gun. Bummer about the jeweling. Maybe not that critical. It's a shooter, not a collector. To me jeweling isn't that big a negative for such a gun. IMO. DF
