I have seen photos of Model 70 Classics that have a nice little tab of metal attached to the top of top of the bolt release and checkered or in some other way decorated.

Who does this work and approximately how much does it cost?

show a photo of yours if you have one.

Jim Wisner, don't remember cost but reasonable

I have done a few. Glob on some weld with a wire feed Mig welder. Shape it up with a belt sander then get a metal checkering tool from Brownells. It's not very hard to do. Oh you have to blue it of course.



shape it up with a belt sander&

Sorry the wide flared Goen style bolt stops I make are only for the Pre 1964 action.

I do not make any for any of the post 1964 actions

And worth every penny, beautifully made.

My bad,,,,,didn't read it all as usual, sorry

Mark Penrod

Chad Dixon in Sturgis SD.

He has a lot of parts set up on CNC.

I have the Wisner bolt release on all my pre'64 M/70's, they're well made and reasonably priced.

The Wisner built up bolt release lets you get rid ot the stamped Winchester unit. It really helps get that real Custom Rifle feel when you build a full custom gun. I have a box full of the original ones in the basement if anyone needs one. It is the little things that really add up to a full Custom rifle.

what does it take to modify them for the post 64 Classic Rifles?

Way back, we just built up a blob with weld, then filed to shape

Mark Penrod did one for me, but as part of a complete build. I also have one on a short action M70. It took two gunsmiths, as the first flubed it. Bansner's was the second. They did some extra grinding on the release and cleaned up the underside of the tang. Again, the price included other work and this was over 12 years ago. I can only email photos.

Check your PM please.
I'd take a couple.

But they can be modified by a competent smith.

Ask me how I know.

How do you know?

That's what I do. Either that or silver solder a piece on and checker that. Having said that, the aftermarket stops I have seen are nicer. Regards, Bill

Agreed, business sense says not to make something you can buy..But..I rally do like more of a clam shell shape, so end up doing the insensible on occasion.....( condition not unknown)

My smith has done at least three for me.
