Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Even the scope is old. 1962 Bausch and Lomb Balvar 8 (2.5 x 8) in which the zero is set in the mount not the scope so you can change guns without losing your zero. Interesting.

Yeah, check it out http://www.rifle-scope-guide.com/bau...d-lomb-scopes/
they surprisingly look like really good scopes.
interesting....
I think I have a very early long action 700. My serial number is in the very low 40,000's. Chambered in 7mm mag.
So far I've dura coated all the metal. New Laminate stock from boyds. New base and rings. No need for trigger work this one is old school Remington.
Have a new unfired Remington factory barrel in 7mm mag I need to have put on for me. New gun with a sweet old butter smooth action.
Ok this brings up a question, when I was at CST the instructor said that anything that predates 1972-73 was not up to the pressures of the "newer" smokeless powder and shouldn't be shot.
BS?
ohh BP......
If anyone has any insite to this that would be good to know.
maybe he meant to say 1872 or 1873?
I call BS...... If this is true, why do you see pre-64 model 70's all the time?
IMO, metallurgy from this period isnt something to worry about. Somebody may be able to prove me wrong on this, but until I see a gun from this period grenaded, I'm not havin it......
PICS OR IT DIDNT HAPPEN!
