Hello guys,
I reach out to you from the cold mountains of Norway. I have recently bought a Winchester Model 70, 375 H&H, and my problem is that the magazine box is too short for the cartridges. I bought it cheaply, and the seller informed me of the problem, but unfortunatly I am not as skilled a handyman as I could wish. With the purchase, I got a bit of info on the rifle, wheter the info is correct, I have no idea, but she is supposedly from Belgian Congo, and came to Norway with an expat returning home. The stock is not original, and ill fitting, but wood I can handle. My problem locating the correct magazine box is this: the barrel is stamped with a serial suggesting she was manufactured in 1955, but the barrel has no notch for a mauser type extractor, and the bolt is obvioussly a push feed one. The reciever has no serial, and no markings other than an "A" stamped underneath, and I have no idea wheter its a mix and match, or if its been rebarreled. If any of you could provide me with some info, either on the rifle, or which sort of magazine box I should buy, I would appreciate it greatly!
