Barrel question
I do have a Winchester model 70 Post 64 in 7-08 mm. The bull barrel, near the action, has the caliber denomination and below the letters "T. Fewins", both engravings gold color filled.

What about that barrel? Is it that a brand name?

TIA

Just a guess it might be the name of the previous owner ?.

Name didn't ring any bells and I'm only venturing a guess .

That was my approximation, since I made a web search and got none results with that name.

Hope that someone has more inputs.

Thanks, anyway.

Much more likely the name of the gunsmith that installed the barrel.
