Found this today after a few years of searching. Winchester Model 64 Deluxe in 32 spl. made in 1952 No pits no rust just a few little hunting marks. Mirror bore. Even has the Deluxe sling swivels and a Old Lyman # 66A peep sight. ![[Linked Image]](http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o320/mossyoak1957/2012-09-15_19-36-39_991.jpg)

Very nice, have you shot it, or will it be a safe queen?

Nice 64! I really like the Model 64's. Probably my favorite of the 1894 based rifles.

Very nice, have you shot it, or will it be a safe queen? I couldn't hit the side of a barn from inside with the peep sight,I removed it and used the barrel sights. No safe Queen...it's going deer hunting in November.....shot it this past Sunday at 50 yards first two shots were a bit high dropped the rear sight ramp down one notch and was dead on.

You've done very well. ;O)
I picked up one in 30-30 earlier today. Would've been even more tickled with the one you have, since I already have a 32 Special in an SRC that dates to the mid 1920s and have loaded for it for many years. Now I hafta get some 30-30 dies, too.
Congrats, she's a real beauty! If you want to sell the Lyman, shoot me an PM. I can't shoot semi-buckhorns worth schnitt.
If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.

Congrats! Always loved the look of the 64's but, never had a chance to own one.

Congratulations. Beautiful rifle.
What part of "shall not be infringed" do you not understand?
