How much of designing of the Winchester Model 70 did Elmer have to do with? I use to work with a "270Jack" fan and he was dead sure Elmer had nothing to do with the rifle.
 
This has to do with an idea EK had for a better military rifle.  He didn't like the Garand.  He felt that there was a lot of room for improvement.  My original question was an attempt to find out if anyone had ever made any kind of prototype based on EK's idea.
I don't have a copy of HIWT! (yet!), and I don't have the notes I took about his ideas nearby.  Perhaps someone can jot down EK's concept.
Essentially, it looked to be a "best of the best" combination that made a lot of sense.
Sure would be a fine rifle.
