Model 70 barrel threads?
Hi,

Do the barrels used on post-'64 push-feeds (early '80s vintage) have the same barrel shank diameter and threads as the current 'pre-'64' style CFR M-70s?

In other words, could a barrel from a push-feed be installed on a current production CRF (after the extractor cut is made)?

Thanks

CPS,
The barrel will fit, but you would have to machine the cone as well as the extractor cut.
Good luck,
