These are nice rifles. Easy to line up the sights and shoot. The buyer will be happy with a New Haven Winchester.

IIRC, the "late model" one I had DID have one piece bottom metal, and the extractor, (as on this rifle) was a brushed steel finish, "in the white'" unlike earlier ones with blued steel extractor.
I believe John Barsness had an article in RIFLE magazine, in the early 2000's, in which he described how Winchester went from a "cast steel" extractor to a proper "spring steel extractor" supplied by Williams and recommended this as a replacement.

Mine, purchased in 2004, right before Winchester closed the New Haven plant, had the Spring Steel extractor, AND a one piece bottom metal (possibly a Williams part as well).

As many of you can understand "I should have never sold that rifle!"

Notable that since Winchester came under the ownership of FN/ BACO group of companies, the Safari Express remained in the product lineup, basically unchanged.

Someone will get a nice piece of history from Winchester.

Good Luck With the Sale!
