Need some advice from the experts.

How difficult is it to fit a Model 70 action and Williams one-piece bottom metal into a Super Grade stock that has been inlet for standard Winchester two-piece bottom metal?

Is this an easy job?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Mike,
for you, it will be an easy job .. get your scrapers and gouges out, and sharpen them -- should take less than an hour for someone who knows which end of the gouge to hold

The ones for post 64s (from PTG) have been easy, but the pre 64 one I picked up (don't know the maker) is smaller than original inletting.

Thanks. I did it this morning. It was almost a drop in. Super easy even for me.

Curious if you were happy with PTG's quality?

Yes, but I don't have enough experience to have any other opinion, and I don't do exhibition quality work If I can remember how to get photos on here, I'll post one later.

Thanks! Looks good to me. I’m going to order one with the Oberndorf floor plate release.

Mike Mc Kay offers a very well finished unit, trigger guuard shape ala Blackburn

Just a warning, the PTG “Oberndorf” floor plate is rather homely and clunky.

You are correct.

It’s blocky and full of right angles.

This will be some work.
