[QUOTE="Timothey101, post: 2870121, member: 127306"] Thanks for the advice and info. And I will contact Weatherby next week and ask them about the serial number. I had no idea about the safety on the bolt, but I just looked at it and you are correct, it is on the bolt. Does this safety modification devalue the gun or enhance it? Any ideas or thoughts on it? I would think it would make it more unique. The gentleman I recently got it from inherited it from his father-in-law who has passed away. The father-in-law was a soldier stationed in Kirchgoens, West Germany who purchased it new with scope and rings in December 1963. The gentleman does have the original scope and rings, but has put it on another gun he owns; a Husquvarna .243. I was thinking about offering to buy him a brand new scope and rings in exchange for the original Redfield scope and rings that came with the gun. That way I can restore it to the original configuration as it was when it was new. It also came with 2 boxes of original unfired .224 Weatherby Magnum ammo. And apparently one of these gentlemen had purchased several additional boxes of newer ammo for it (also came with the gun), but as I look at these newer boxes, they are 224 Valkyrie and appear to be a totally different round (5 boxes of 224 Valkyrie total).
