Winchester M70 Bottom metal
Will post -64 bottom metal work on a pre-64 Winchester M70?

Not sure about the pre-64-post details but M70 push feed actions can use stocks inletted for CRF actions with the plastic spacer CDNN Inverstments sells.

I'm looking at a set for slae on anothr forum. It looks identical to a pre-64 set, but I don't know about the fit to the receiver

There is about 1/8" difference between the two. I can't remember which is longer but went thru this with the old Dakota rail style trigger guards that Brownells sold about 15yrs ago.

I believe the post is the longer of the two.

Thanks for all the info. However, the parts have all ready been sold so I'll tuck it away for future reference.
