Hoping y’all might be able to answer a question for me....
I have a USA made m70 fwt crf and it was a 300wsm...stock was great so I stripped it and plan on refinishing for use with a (same action) 22-250ai build (from a different donnor 70 fwt) ... I noticed, along with I’ve read in the past that there is a different contour used in the wsm mod 70 fwt’s....well I can confirm this as my 22-250 barrel is swimming in the Contour...I planned on using a lija dupe for the build but they weren’t a ton of help (although very nice and willing) in the nuances of the wsm contour vs fwt contour....the conclusion was to send the wsm barrel in for a spec out and dupe that barrel....

All that said, did the wsm fwt’s have their own specific contour or is it a standard mod 70 contour in a fwt stock?
Secondly is there a “standard” contour that makers use, ie a #2, that is very close to a sporter mod 70 that I would be able to fit in the fwt stock?

If all that makes sense...I know you Winchester guys will know...thanks


If at first you don't succeed; shoot, shoot again

When you say "USA made", are you referring to Winchester or BACO? The baco's are just sporter weight barrels. They are not a true "featherweight" contour. Why they call them that is beyond me. There's a huge difference between a FWT barrel and a standard wt barrel. Here's a real American made featherweight barrel:

New Haven crf classic guns are the same; standard sporter contour.
All the magnum classic “featherweights” wear this contour (including the all terrain.)
