Pre-war M70 parts?

[Rhongman]

I just got a hold of a Winchester M70 Pre-War barreled action in the correct serial number range for a build, but I can't find a stock.
I'm hoping someone on here can lead me in the right direction. I've tried Numrich, GunBroker, and Ebay. Is there somewhere else I should be looking. Thanks

It will be difficult to locate an original pre war M70 stock, and likely expensive when you do. I have seen them at ebay a few times, the really nice ones went for astronomical prices.
If you need something just to shoot I think McMillan still offers a stock that is close and they can cut it for the cloverleaf tang on the pre war action.

Also write to this seller as he is always listing stocks and parts and has had some real nice pre wars in the past:

The tangs are shaped different on Pre-war M-70s from post war.

Good luck in your search.

Thanks for all the tips. I can't believe how much a mint condition stock goes for! The search goes on.

Great buy, I have a post war M70in 30/06. Nice rifle, especially being that is was my grandfathers that he won at a bowling tournament in the 70's..... too bad you can't win guns anymore.
