1911, that's a damn fine looking rifle that I'd be very proud to own. Thanks for sharing. That old rifle has a lot of class!!
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

Absolutely beautiful. Who did the work? Sam Marino of Beaumont Texas back in the 1960's, he's deceased. Here's the floorplate & TG, engraved & signed by Master engraver George Sherwood: ![[Linked Image]](https://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x157/hhclark/Miscellaneous/Win Mdl 70 floorplate 1_zpsdwttpezs.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x157/hhclark/Miscellaneous/Win Mdl 70 floorplate 2_zpstttxbcoi.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x157/hhclark/Miscellaneous/Win Mdl 70 floorplate 3_zpsox6web3t.jpg)

What are the specs on your new build. what caliber is the original rifle? Change from 308 to 25-06. Watch feeding. The rails are part of the receiver in the pre 64 action and unique to the cartridge. The longer cartridge will pop off the rails sooner once you swap out the mag box to 30/06 length. I had a 308 action that I turned into a 270. It fed like crap. Didn't like it at all. Maybe yours will be Ok....don't know. Good luck.

Uh oh.
I have an old M70 I converted from 30-06 to 270 that works. I will compare those lips to the 308 lips.
