[QUOTE="Tiny, post: 666884, member: 18962"] My Uncle bought one of these new back in the day and later did some customizeing to it, adding a mid 70's M-70 stock and floor plate. I don't have any pics of it at present. A couple things on the the above Winchester have bugged me for a good time hopefully someone here can clear these up.It involes the different safety/safeties used on the M-670 during its run from '66-'73. Some of these had a sliding 2 postion safety similar to the Rem 700,while later models had the 3 postion wing of M-70 fame. I was able to view a few old winchester catalogs this past weekend that shed some light on these questions.The gentleman didnt have the '71 catalog though and didn't know the answers. Questions, What year did Win change this safety back to the 3 Postion Wing? Why did they go to the 2 postion of the early M-670's then drop it?? Heres a pic taken from the Winchester '66 catalog I had to have. It shows the safety in question. bottom pic [img]http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj65/TNTiny/001-1.jpg[/img] Thanks. [/QUOTE]
