WIN M-70 magazine question

[roysha]

Is the magazine box, follower and spring the same for the blind magazine as it is for the hinged floor plate? An acquaintance has a chance to buy, at a really cheap price, a WIN factory synthetic stock with blind magazine for his M-70 which has a walnut stock and hinged floor plate. Before he buys it he needs to figure out if he will have to buy a new magazine assembly.
Both gun and stock are from approximately the same era (post 64 push feed) and of course, same caliber.

I believe it is. The hinged floor plate has grooves to capture the spring but it just sits on the fixed plate. Box and follower are the same.

I believe they are the same for both types of stocks. Would seem kind of silly to make 2 different springs for the rifle at the factory.Robert
