The Model 70 Winchester represents the Mauser System in a sleek and slender form and is the basis for our Old African Medium Rifle. We begin with your Model 70 and slenderize the stock by reducing the forearm length, adding a genuine ebony tip and slenderizing it along with the buttstock. We install the sling swivel on the barrel and a matching swivel in the buttstock. An Oberndorf-style trigger guard is optionally available. Then we rebarrel to one of the medium-bore African cartridges such as the 9,3x62 Mauser or the.318 Westley Richards Nitro Express or other appropriate Medium Bore cartridges. We also add period-appropriate sights, either Rigby-style or Holland & Holland banded style, to complete that Pre-War English/African look.
In addition to the work mentioned above, we also install pillar bedding to the guard screws for a consistent bedding of the barrel and action into the stock. This allows the rifle to be disassembled for travel and reassembled with a return to zero. We also install blind crossbolts for reinforcement of the stock behind the recoil lug and ahead of the trigger and we then glass bed the recoil lug area. To strengthen the wrist we install a steel sleeve which passes completely through the wrist to support that vulnerable area of the stock. The idea is to create a stock that will survive international travel.
In addition to the very popular 9,3x62 Mauser we offer the .318 Westley Richards in our Model 70 Old African and other medium-bores such as the .338-06 and .35 Whelen with a 12-inch twist for stabilizing heavy bullets. So set up, the .35 Whelen is the twin to the 9,3 in performance.
Custom English Walnut is optionally available for the Model 70 Old African Medium Rifle. We can also straighten the bolt handle as found on early Mauser Sporting Rifles as part of the restocking. Case-coloring the receiver and jeweling the bolt are other options to consider.
