Mike,
I will bring a cattle prod with me to Cody this year to help “sharpen” your attention

Bert-

I’ll steal the batteries first time you run off on a survey quest! You’d probably want to test it when I try to sneak a nap.Surprised

I CLEARLY post too much!!!  I will go through all my posts over the past year and see if I can locate the one you’re thinking of…
In the meantime, since you’re a Member, I suggest you read this article in the Winter 2001 WACA Collector by Dr. Vic Van Ballenberghe.  It’s entitled “How to Buy a Fake Model 70 Winchester” and it’s the best article I’ve yet seen dealing with the Model 70 fake trade…
https://winchestercollector.org/magazines/200101/26/
BTW… If you can name at least some of the anonymous fakers Vic mentioned in the article, then you’ve been around this game too long!!!

I just put a request in to see if one is still available. Thanks so much for your good help.

Louis, Thank you for bringing up Vic’s old post.  It is still very relevant Today!  Knowledge is power!  The more we know.  Well, the better off we will be!  This forum helps a great deal to gain the information that is needed to identify a correct Winchester, or one with concerns.
