And also, the safety was converted from the first style (1937-1941)to the later version, where the Safe position is at 6 o'clock and the fire position is at 3 o'clock. I have M70 SG in 30-Gov't-06 made in 1940, and the safety is set at 9 o'clock, and the fire position is at 6 o'clock- In either design, half-way the sear is blocked, but the bolt can be fully cycled- Beautiful rifle indeed, and nice to see a Military 1903- M1 Garand style leather sling, QD swivels and a black buttplate that looks like it grew out of the wood- and the best scope money can buy, due to in part their unlimited warranty (Leupold)-- what grain weight and style bullet was used to take this animal? I use nothing but Rem Core-Lokt 180 grainers in my 30-06 for both Whitetails and feral pigs here in Central MI---
