Most Ass-Toot observations there Tedster. You might be referring to the Dick and Craig numbnutz of China beach-surprise , not R&R in The 'Nam, but in Maine-About two years ago-from their ad under Winchester Rifles in Gun Disgust- they had a 1933 M54 Super Grade in .270 listed. Being the perpetual wise-ass that I am, and also just a TAD wise in Winchesters (well, Model 12's and Model 70's) and armed with Rule's book which covers the M54 as well as the M70-I called- asked for the serial number and wondered where they got their date from- the SuperGrade appeared in late 1935 in the M54-then rolled over into the better M70-barrels were the same by the way-I have a SuperGrade M54 in .220 Swift cal. with the 26" stainless barrel-but have revamped it into a first series M70 with a Buehler 3 way safety and a Timney target grade trigger and a Mashburn forged steel floor plate for the magazine-I also see another idiot in Gun Disgust- some Executioner of fair gun deals in PA-what a crock- because I collect I can offer you "such a deal, already" Right-and Bernie Madoff is gonna return all the $ he scammed.
