Re: Model 700 Question
vnv26,
I have a similar stock and _ have been told_that's its an 1980's vintage Bell & Carlson and they were made of fiberglass. Mine is Green colored in full sun and turns Black when taken into a shaded area.
A regular type swivel connector is just in front of the sling depression on the front end and just behind the depression on the rear. The entire barreled action is bedded in that sprayed material that covers the stock from the receiver tang to the tip of the fore-end. The sprayed stock covering is rough to the touch.
Hope this help's.
Like to hear more about that Nam stock your Uncle used.

vnv26,
Sorry to hear about your friend Frank, it’s always a terrible loss to lose a true patroit. Good to hear that you’ve had the opportunity to try yours out, were you able to hold good groups after cleaning? Must have been cold on the range this time of year. Did you use factory ammo or did you load up your own ? The rifle I obtained was an old 7.62 40X repeater (April of 89 vintage)that was bedded in that questionable stock. It had no sights whatsoever so I haven’t been able to try it out. Thinking about mounting one of my old Redfields on it but I need to get a rail and mounts; I proably have everything , it’s just that I have stuff squirled away.
