Turned out really well. It should be a great shooter. I have a few. They all shoot well. One ragged holers at 100 yards well? No. More like 1-1.25 at 100. But mine are mannlichers. Many people have a misconception about imported rifles. But my experience has been that that are FANTASTIC values. Beautiful rifles with great triggers and pleasing aesthetics. I paid $550 for my mannlicher in 308 with a Leupold QDMA 3x9 scope. It’s in about 98% condition.Just restocked the M70. This is a B&C full aluminum bedded and free floated setup.
There was a fair amount of Dremel work with this. It is not a drop in.
But it turned out great. Now to shoot it.

If I go with optics, I did order the EGW base, Burris Z rings and a Burris Fullfield 2 in 3-9. I like that scope.@army_eod Those pics well showcase the traditional rich satin blue metal finish on the blued Zastava firearms. A good looking rig! I hope it shoots well for you in its new chassis. Should be a great hunting rig.
Did you settle on a final contestant for scope mounting?
Thanks for the news!FYI regarding Zastava USA web. I placed an order for parts for the M70. One hour later I received their shipping email with tracking.
These guys have the most amazing service.
I should have done this before I ordered the new stock.
Well I ordered a new recoil pad, grip cap and some screws for the rear sight plate.Thanks for the news!
I sent them an email last year inquiring about purchasing new stocks, they told me having empty stocks available for purchase in the USA wasn't part of their plans at that time, but who knows what the future could hold. I'm betting you made a good call on the stock you purchased if it fits you and the barreled action well after the work you put into it.

A web link or posted photo could prove helpful to answering this question.I have been pondering one of these myself. Curious.....what is stamped on the top of the barrel by the receiver? One I looked at online looked like it had "SC" at the end?
