Help with a 1941 Model 70
Posted: Sun Apr 09, 2017 1:39 pm
I'm a handgun guy at heart but I've always wanted a bolt action long gun. I sort of fell into this 1941 Model 70, #48261, which fits in the range of the 373 shipped to the Marine Corps on May 29, 1942. Of course I doubt that this if one of the 373 (that way I'm never disappointed) but is there any tell-tale stuff to look for? I'm curious about the RIA/FK (Frank Krack, great name) stamp. The front and rear sights are Lyman but the top of the chamber, behind the boss, has some marks that may have been from a mounted scope. Any thoughts?
