I know it's not a sought after model but it's a perfect candidate for my 22-250 barrel to make a working gun.Don't have to worry bout scuffin the wood an I still get a rotary and lever safety. I think it was a good buy,just want to know what the more learned folks on the forum think.

Price seems right, pending condition,Most E's run around 350 to 600.00 from what is out there. However your the one that has seen it,and it's your choice if ya wanna grab it.

BrotherRockeye, just make sure the threads mate up, if I remember right the E's had the old style barrel thread. Les

well that would put a fly in the ointment...
thanks Les, I guess the post mil V thread rule falls into the "never say always" catagory then?
unless anyone can confirm,I guess I'll find out when I twist the barrel off...

Les, I don't think I ever heard that. I thought all the postmils (except a few of the very early leftover barrels) had the V thread.

Nice looking gun,except for the wood. A good candidate for a project gun,if you are into that kinda stuff. Looks like either the butt or forearm was swapped out. Good luck with your project.

Not that early, 1966.
And don't worry about Steve, that wood is right as rain for that model.

BrotherRockeye Should make it a 1965-1966 if no letter. What is the l.b.c.?

Won't have an LBC Steve, c'mon, you know better. Joe has it right on the date.
Joe, you sure on the v-thread, I was under the assumption that anything before 70 had the square thread, and the 70's started the V-thread. But I could be wrong. Les

Stefan, a lot of the production wood on the E's have mismatched wood, they were the budget grade rifle. I am pretty sure that wood is correct for it. Les

E's are shooters, plain and simple. Good basic rifle for any beginning hunter. Les
