in pre-64 actions came with a guide opposite the extractor that rotates with the extractor? I have a 257 Roberts in the shop that has a guide (I presume it's a guide) about 2"long. My 270 has no such guide.

That is not a "guide"; that is a bolt stop. Called a bolt stop extension; they were 3 of them, so with the option of none, make 4 possible bolt throws in the pre 64 Model 70. The reason your 270 does not have it is that the bolt needs all the travel it can get.

Based on his advice for my .257 Rbts bolt -- listen to dpcd. Call it done.

I would think the 22 Hornet would have such an extension. Never looked at one close enough to know, but it would make sense.

Here are the ones that have extensions;
1. 22 Hornet
2. 250 Savage and 35 Remington
3. 257 Roberts, 220 Swift and the 308 family
4. None.
Making 4 bolt throw lengths.
I guess all the Model 70 collectors no longer read AR.

No, I meant to type 250-3000 but my fingers didn't follow my brain.
