Winchester Repeating Arms 70 (Historic Manual) - Manual (Page 5)

concerning it supplied in a separate manual with your
rifle. If your manual is missing contact us immediately.
The barrels on other non-BOSS models often utilize slight
forearm pressure to maximize accuracy.
Magazine configurations vary. Yours has one of the follow-
ing:
1) A hinged-type floorplate with a conventional spring
and follower mechanism.
2) An enclosed floorplate.
DBM-type magazines (stands for Detachable Box
Magazine) are not covered in this manual. Please be aware
of which type of magazine you have and carefully read the
instructions pertaining to it later in this manual.
If your Model 70 is one of the new Classic Pre-’64 type
models you’ll notice the nearly identical likeness to the
original Model 70s discontinued in 1963. You get all the
classic design advantages of the originals, plus improve-
ments in manufacturing and finish not possible decades
ago.
IMPORTANT: Refer to Figures 1A-D for general part
descriptions regarding your new rifle. You must become
familiar with all part names listed before proceeding with
the rest of the instructions in this manual.
