I believe all Pre War's had stripper slots.

joken,

without good in-focus pictures, your guess is better than mine because you've seen the gun.

sounds like you may have a M54 action with a M70 barrel. if so, its value is what you are willing to pay for a shooter (read aardvark)

In the Model 70, the early rifles chambered in 270 Win. and 30.06 all had stripper clip guides milled into the receiver.

Absolutely nothing. It's original to the rifle. Value is on the gun being what it is, an early model 70. Value fluctuations will result from non-factory additions/deletions, and of course, the conditon of the item. Hope I helped. Joe

The old saying "a picture is worth a thousand words" holds true in the gun trading biz, a good photo may make your winchester worth many 100's more, good unmolested pre war mod 70's can bring the real bucks, I am looking for one to turn into a viet era ,bean field whitetail hammer![:)] Along these lines...http://texasbrigadearmory.com/m70.htm
