Is the hole spacing for the action screws the same between a pre 64 long action and post 64? And if so, is there any major impediment to taking a Mc Millan or similar synthetic stock inletted for a post '64 action and fitting a pre '64 into it? Thank you.
If you can't be a good example, may you at least serve as a dreadful warning

Yes, there's a difference. By the way, the pre 64's only had 1 action length (no long or short). A post 64 stock can be fitted to a pre 64 if you have the skills. I've done a couple. However, my question to you: Why not just buy a mcmillan inletted for the pre 64? I'm assuming this is for your fwt..
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

Yes, for the featherweight I recently aquired. The original stock is pretty beat, broken, repaired, barrel channel fubared. If I can't do a decent job refurbishing it, I will start looking for a replacement. Just wanted to know what options I had.
I have done LOTS of fiberglass work in my past. If anyone has a good quality but ugly or in need of repair synthetic stock they want to sell that would accomadate a pre 64 featherweight I would be interested, please PM me. Thanks
