North or South?

The “Dakota Hunter” user name is from using Dakota Rifles if that’s what you mean by North or South.

Okeedokee! Was hoping you were local.

I apologize if I'm incorrect, but I believe that is an FN manufactured rifle, not New Haven. The serial number does not begin with a "G", which all New Haven manufactured M70s do. Not a knock on the rifle at all. Personally I prefer the FN guns.

 

[Dakota Hunter]

The gun has New Haven stamped on the barrel.

If only this had the bolt handle on the "correct" side!

 

[JeffD]

I suppose that settles it. But the serial number doesn't jive with a NH gun, and the bolt shroud is like the FN rifles. It would be interesting to know if the trigger is the traditional M70 type or the MOA (enclosed) trigger like the FNs. Also, does it have one piece or two piece bottom metal? The NH rifles have the two piece, FNs are one piece.

 

[Dakota Hunter]

The trigger is the old open M70 type.

 

[Dakota Hunter]

The bottom metal is one piece also.

 

[JeffD]

Got to be NH made! My apologies. Ive not seen one without the G prefix.

 

[Dakota Hunter]

No problem

 

[JeffD]

The bottom metal is one piece also.

That's really interesting too! Never saw a NH gun with one piece bottom metal! From the factory that is.

Could very well be a FN gun that they built using leftover parts from the New Haven factory.

 

[JeffD]

I suppose that’s possible too. Anyway, I’ve caused enough trouble at the sellers expense, I’ll butt out. A cool rifle regardless, and the possible blend of the New Haven an FN details make it even more interesting as a potential buyer, at least to me.
