Pictures would sure help.

Is the rear stud round or supergrade style?

Is the comb flat or MC style?
Wondering if someone put a super express stock on it.

The gold lettering is not factory, so it’s definitely had some work done.

Sounds like it was re-stocked. The stock that came on that originally had two round studs.

That picture from this nice factory original of the same year:

1992 super express, from the Winchester catalog.

It wasn’t classic (crf) yet in 1992.

Looks like a Super Express to me. Is that what it is AK? I've seen a couple just like that, but chambered in 416

I've got a pre-64 Super Grade in the infamous .270 Winchester.

Looks like a Wisner rear sight like my 416 wears. That's a Wisner front as well.

I have one that is G21xxx. It says supergrade on the barrel and has a really nice stock but doesn't say supergrade on the bottom metal. These were made very early in the Model 70 CLASSIC model. I suspect they made and sold what they had parts for without cataloging every different thing they made.

I have a SG made in South Carolina after FN took over. If memory serves it was manufactured in 2009. Has "super grade " stamped on the barrel but not on the floor plate. I've seen several others stamped the same.

If you are asking about the classic, 1990 was the first year catalogued.

In 1934 John Olin authorized the company to upgrade some of the products and the Model 54 Super Grade Rifle was introduced. The M54 SG was in production 1934 - 1936.
