Make: Winchester

Model: 64

Serial Number: 1499653

Year of Manufacture: Ca. 1948

Caliber: .30-30 WCF

Action Type: Tubular Magazine Fed Lever Action Rifle

Barrel Length: 24"

Sights / Optics: The front sight is a beaded blade dovetailed to a textured, ramped base forged to the front of the barrel; the bead has a spot of red paint. The base is grooved for a hood that is not present. The rear sight is a "U"-notch elevator sight dovetailed to the rear of the barrel; the notch is fine-adjustable for elevation. The left of the receiver is drilled, tapped and filled for a receiver sight (none present).

Stock Configuration & Condition: The stocks are two-piece walnut with beavertail forend, pistol grip, straight comb, and checkered steel shotgun-style buttplate. The forend has flats on each side, indicating modification or replacement. The forend has minor light play front-to-back. The stocks have scattered light nicks, scuffs and scratches. There is a tiny loss in the top of the wrist at the shoulder on the left edge of the tang. The LOP measures 13 1/4" from the front of the trigger to the back of the buttplate. The plate has wear at the heel and around the edges with a patch of compressed checkers below the heel and otherwise well defined checkering. Overall, the stocks are in about Very Good condition as refinished and/or replaced.

Type of Finish: Blued

Finish Originality: Original

Bore Condition: The bore is mostly bright and the rifling is sharp. There is infrequent minor erosion and some stubborn fouling in the bore. In this writer's opinion, the bore rates 8+ out of 10.

Overall Condition: This rifle retains about 90% of its metal finish. The finish is thinning at all edges. There is handling wear on the bottom of the receiver and some scattered more minor wear. There are scattered light nicks, scuffs and small scratches. There is some stubborn residue built up around the receiver sight. There is some stubborn dried grease. The action shows operational wear. The screw heads range from sharp to tool marked with usable slots. The markings are clear. Overall, this rifle is in Very Good condition.

Mechanics: The action functions correctly. We did not fire this rifle. As with all used firearms, a thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance standards.

Box, Paperwork & Accessories: None.

Our Assessment: Winchester’s venerable Model 94 rifle, long a favorite of hunters and outdoorsmen, was beginning to lose sales in the early 1920’s, although the shorter barreled carbine was still popular. More people were traveling by motorcar and railroad, and Winchester thought a takedown rifle based on the Model 94 would sell well. The Model 55 was introduced in 1924, but never sold particularly well, and was discontinued in 1932 when it was superseded by the Model 64. The Model 64 was a redesign of the Model 55 with a longer magazine tube and made with a solid frame only. The Model 64 stayed in production until 1957, with a total of only 66,783 manufactured, making it one of the more scarce lever action models made by Winchester. A 2nd batch of 8250 was produced in the early 1970’s, but those made before 1964 have better quality and smoothness of operation than that found on more modern Model 94’s.

This is a Winchester Model 64 Rifle in .30-30 with a 24” barrel and 3/4 length magazine tube. The .30-30 is perhaps the most popular cartridge for deer hunting in America and paired with the 94 action, is among the most common deer rifles in the country. This rifle is in Very Good overall condition, showing honest wear, a strong bore and good mechanics. If the collectors don’t take enough notice, this will make someone a very nice hunting rifle. Please see our photos and good luck!
