I never touched the bluing. It is exactly as I bought it.

I disagree. The stock is exactly where it always has been. It could not fit any better. Why are you nitpicking on this gun? Did you bid on it? Are you pissed that I made it the way I liked it? I have dozens of Winchesters. Many in pristine condition in almost all calibers and models. I like it the way it is and don’t give a flying f*** what you think. It sounds like jealousy to me. Get a life.

Yes, but just removing the stock set disturbed a 115 year old factory wood-to-metal fit that is very difficult to duplicate

Polishing to a mirror finish and charcoal blueing caused the issue, Mark Douglas has some great videos on the cinnabar’s channel about their process. I’d like to see the receiver in natural light. I probably would have replaced the wood if I went that route. Someone here I don’t remember right now had them do a 86 I think, that turned out fantastic.

Chuck, technically not anymore.

TXGunNut on Pics added pre-64 M70 358 Win Fwt barrel

Since the evidence doesn't support the mail order or take-off scenario is it possible this could be the result of some housecleaning of obsolete parts during the turbulent later years of Winchester or one of the subsequent owners? This wasn't a popular chambering so it's easy to imagine this barrel languishing in a parts bin.

I have a WWI era Mills military 12 gauge shell belt for your consideration. I tried to list it on this site first but my pics were way oversize and it's beyond my computer skills to rectify that situation. If you want this item, send me a quick email (aaron21x2@yahoo.com) and I will kill the GB listing (as long as there are no bids on it).

FWIW- Doug Turnbull has nothing to do with the current Turnbull restorations,,,, so while the people use that as a referance-in thinking that he is still hands on, he is not.He has nothing to do with it. I can not speak to what type of work they are putting out now, but felt it is a valid point to bring up, simply because he and his work have such a good reputation and following- and I think that is the work people are referring when they say Turnbull Restoration.

Isn't the Turnbull family running the business now? Not Doug.

Wyoming Armory is who did the case coloring. I have never touched the bluing. I cleaned up the stock. That is all I ever did to this weapon.

I don't know exactly what you did to clean up the stock, the but the wood to metal fit isnoticeably not as good as it was when LS&B had it.
