  I purchased a winchester model 70 with a Lyman Alaskan 2.5 power scope for $100.00 from a former "Tuskeegee Airman" whom I will not name. Upon tracing the serial number through a friend we discovered that it was made in 1947.According to him,"I shot a moose with it in 1955 and it's been in the closet ever since".The rifle has been appraised. Would obtaining a letter or bill of sale with his signature on it increase the value of the rifle?

  Your best bet is to call them, and provide the center to center on the holes, as well as the caliber, the barrel contour, and the serial number, I have not had any problems with orders from them, but I do always call them. goodluck, I have some sights for a model 70, email me the dimensions and exactly what ya need and I will root thru my ammo box of parts, goodluck
