I always liked the 64's. A friend had one years ago in 30-30 that was his mother's elk rifle. When I handled his I had to have one. This is my Model 64 that I repaired after it had been attacked by Bubba with a hammer and grinder. The stock was shattered in the wrist and wood had been chiseled out around the lower tang-I have no idea why. The sear was ground to a knife edge. The forend was cracked and the magazine hanger and its mortise was mangled because Bubba hammered it out sideways. The forward end of the mag tube was mashed and belled where it had been hammered. The back end of the tube was burned where it looked like Bubba tried to weld it and then it had been ground down. There was probably more I am forgetting. Other than that the rifle is in good shape. Bluing is good and the original finish on the wood is mostly there. The bore is pristine and it shoots its favorite loads well. The rifle was made in 1939.
