I admit I might have gone a bit over the top with the G series entry. Please remove if you find it too much.

I believe the bolt-action rifle Castro uses is not a Model 70, but a sporterized M1917 Enfield rifle, or the Remington Model 30, an inter-war commercial variant. The distinctive kinked bolt handle is the biggest clue. The rear sight protector ears were often ground down during sporterizing.--Stomper 18:19, 21 June 2012 (CDT)
