Nice 64 #10708742 11/17/15 Joined: Mar 2003 Posts: 5,839 Craigmont, Idaho M mart OP Campfire Tracker OP mart Campfire Tracker M Joined: Mar 2003 Posts: 5,839 Craigmont, Idaho Picked up a nice 1950 model 64 last week. I've always liked the 64's the best of all of Winchester's lever guns. Hoping to get to the range this afternoon for some group therapy. I think I'll take it along. It wears a Redfield receiver sight. Thanks for looking. Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.

Congratulations! I used to own a 64, but a friend wanted it and the four Marlin 336A's I still own in that configuration keep me happy.

That probably stems from the 50's vintage Marlin 336A my grandfather gave me that has a 24" barrel and 2/3s length mag. They just point and balance incredibly well.

The 64 is the only 30-30 I ever wanted. I finally got one a few years ago. Mine has a Lyman receiver sight. It handles great and shoot Nosler 170g into 2 inches at 100 yards. The old saying, "handles like a fine shotgun" comes to mind when hefting the 64.

If I were going to the trouble and cost to rebarrel it, I would find a correct barrel or keep it as is. There's a couple M64 barrels on ebay right now.
