Model 70???
Posted: Sat Sep 28, 2013 10:44 amI have a Winchester bolt action rifle serial #39163A, it has a heavy barrel marked on top with"barreled by Griffen & Howe New York" There is NO stamp as to the caliber; however it seems to be ~.243?
On the left hand of the receiver it is stamped Winchester and below that trademarked. The top of the receiver is a series of lines approximately a 1/4" wide. It has a peep sight and a banded front sight.
It does not have a release for the shells in front of the trigger guard. I don't know if the stock is stock, but it has cut checkering and a bolt underneath in the for-arm in front of the trigger guard ~ a foot. The action seems to be a mauser type. I need help identifying this rifle. A .243 Winchester shell was able to be loaded. Thank You for any help! George
