I did indeed win another eBay auction yesterday afternoon. I've been wanting, searching and trying to get one for years. and yesterday, I finally got one! A Crosman model 70 in pretty solid condition. He says it works. But then again, most eBay auctioneers do. It's complete and pretty solid looking...just the usual wear-n-tear marks from what I see. And from what I could make out of the serial number, and Crosman's usual dating system, that 79 means 7/79. They were built from 1973 to 1980.
I'm planning to restomod it too look more like a pre-'64 Winchester model 70 Standard. Including pre-war Standard checkering. Gotta figure that part out though. Got much of what I need to do the job already, lacking checkering tools. And the manual gives some interesting info on the rifling, barrel length, stock finish etc.
If that's hand rubbed walnut stain, it's watered down or something?!
