Great article as usual. The 67 I have has the finger groove stock and I'll take it down later to check for the receiver crack, out of curiosity. The rifle was bought new by my great grandfather as pest control around the farm. It was given to my dad sometime in the late 50's shortly before g-granddad died. Dad never liked the rifle as he felt it was inaccurate. I think it was more that the rifle didn't fit dads 6'2" frame and the rifle was given to me on my 12th birthday. I got along fine with the rifle and both my kids learned to shoot rifles with the 67, which now belongs to my daughter. So at this point 5 generations of my family have owned and used this rifle. While after 80 years of occasional use the exterior would no longer be considered "collectible" condition it still shoots fine. I see no reason to believe this rifle will not see 100 years of use by my family serving as pest control and teaching youngsters to shoot.
