Nice rifle congrats. The purists in the M70 collectors look for originality just like we do in our Parkers. Your investment is rarely recouped in a custom rifle and while Al Biesen is well known it apparently adds little value for some. Is the rifle a FWT or STD?
I have sold off a lot of my M70's lately including two in 257R. The funds are gone (to another shotgun) but the rifles are also and now I find myself looking again.
It's one of my favorite calibers.
