Prewar M70 Carbine purchase - 07/28/19
Just took home this early M70 carbine in .270 here in Alberta for $800 CDN. Got extra holes in it which are crooked...BUBBA...plan is to install a peep anyways. Once home and disassembled I see the bolt number is 25 higher than the receiver serial number(24,XXX). Bolts got mixed up 79 years ago at a shop??? Needed a new bolt and one so close in serial number was found???I doubt that. Get a gunsmith to check headspace??? Fire the rifle several times from a distance(string) and measure brass after...if all seems well enjoy the rifle as is??? Im gonna assume its been fired many times as is...
Your advice and experience please...
