On top a scoped 1948 made Winchester Model 70 in .30-06. Irons have been deleted.
Below, a peep-sighted 1931 made Winchester Model 54 in .30-06.
They are more alike than different.
The glaring differences are the trigger, safety and the magazine floor plate. More subtly the later gun, being intended for those new-fangled scopes from day one, has not provision for clips.
The bolts are also quite similar.
You can swap the bolt assemblies between them. The difference in the shroud and triggers means that they don't actually work though. If you swap the shrouds, though, the bolts do interchange! However, nothing is holding the model 70 bolt inside the gun because it lacks that large sloped groove in the bottom. We're not doing a firing test.
