The post 64s weren't bad guns. They just cheapened them up so they could still make money on 'em at a decent price point. You are right about the stock..either birch or beech..possibly even gum as it looks about the same. The receivers were made from a cast steel. Didn't hold the blue too well so they did a kinda coating of iron on the receiver and blued it. Somewhat like they did the Stainless steel bbls on the M-70s in 220 Swift and the target guns in 243 and 300 Mag among others
