Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Winchester Collectors Let's see those Model 64's

Ok. Best pic I have of my 64 right now. Before season is over, I'm gonna tote this out to the woods.




Born in 1953

That's just a nice shot there Kaywoodie. Kinda like Rachel Welch on the hood of a '63 Vette!
This is the best I can do tonight. Pardon the off brand one in there, it's just to accentuate the beauty of the Winchesters. That carbine in the middle has killed tons of deer in the hands of my late father.
Age top to bottom 1955, 1938, 1936

Very nice!!! Says I!!!

Well done!

Well, looks like nobody wants to play. How 'bout the 64s little brother the 65?
Left 1945 .218 Bee, right 1937 .32 WCF.

Very nice!!! Wish I had one. Always like 25/20!

Beautiful guns! You all are a bad influence is all I can say. Makes a person want at least one of every model lever action Winchester made.

Or two...

'49 standard grade .32 Special with a Lyman receiver sight.

Pretty stick of wood on that one RGK!

Yes, very!

I dont have any separate pictures of my 64's and 55's, theres a few in this lineup.

Holy Shidt!

Heaven!

The rifles are great but I love the pictures,too. Loggah that is gun porn Americana.

Top 64 was made in 1951, 30/30
Bottom 94 is from 1950, 32 Spec.

Yes! Going into extreme drool mode!

And,,,,, I love the Marbles compass too!!!!

Here is my 65. Working on the 64

Nice NV. You got the hard one out of the way, time for 64 shopping!

Here is the 64 in 32 WS. Not such a great picture though. Year on this is 1923.

Ohhh, you already had one! And a carbine to boot. You don't see too many of those.

Yea, by working on it i meant figuring out how to post pictures. Haha. For me, it was a tough haul. Theres a little pitting on it but she shoots nice. I really like the Lyman sight on it. Some of these Winchesters here are reallllly nice!!!

I like the 64 - really nice feel and balance to them. That and a Model 71, and you could hunt about anything.

Pat,
Did you get to shoot my 64 at Ed's spring gathering? If not, I'll bring it back if he has another! Got plenty ammo!!!! I think I'm gonna haul it down south in a few weeks. Just it case.

no, unfortunately not. Bring it next time

For some odd reason Winchesters have been sparse in my collection, though I do still have my original .45-90 High Wall. And a M94 in .44-40, which is kind of unusual

Not trying to be a Grinch, but my references show the 64 year of introduction was 1933.
yooper

here is frank602 model 64 1n 30 wcf made in 1933

i have one in layaway that i should have out by this weekend

When you get it home post some pictures so we can drool over it. Nothin' better than gun porn........
well it won't get you in as much trouble with the wife

I'm going to try to get my wife to take some individual pictures tomorrow, i got 5 in the lineup and 1 has killer wood !!!

Top to bottom 30-WCF
32 special
30-30

Nice !!!

Those sure are nice Pat!
One chambering you don't see too often is the .25-35. My father had told me he had originally ordered his 64 carbine in .25-35 but when it didn't arrive by deer season he took the .30WCF the dealer had instead. Pretty rare, probably Loggah's got one though

Yes, and the other is the .219 Zipper. Held a genuine one in rough shape once. 26 inch barrel, bolt peep manufactured in the late 30s.

Almost fergot about that one. Wish they woulda put the bolt peep on the other calibers, I like that sight.

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.

Yooper35, your right!! I got my dates messed up. My 64 is from 1934. And it shows ...... Thanks for pointing that out.

My wife Cheryl spent some time taking a few pictures of my 64's this morning ,here they are.



these two rifles are pretty early one is 1933 and 1 1935,both s/n in the 109xxxx s/n range. The upper one is in 30 WCF,the bottom one with the killer wood is 32 ws.They have the slim forends. the next picture is of later rifles they are all 30-30 cal. and the bottom two are "THE DEER RIFLE" meaning deluxe models.

Hey Marc, looks like you resuscitated that Bubba'd 64 pretty well. Nice job!

Loggah, What, no Zipper?? That second one down does have some purrdy wood! Tell the wife thanks for us.

I never ran across any in 219 zipper up in this neck of the woods.

I've never seen one in person either. Probably a good thing, my bank account couldn't stand the beating!

What years were the zippers produced in the 64s. What I could find out it was from 38-41. Is this correct?

its for sale

Now that's just cool.


I'd carry that rifle with pride.



41

tmitch, thanks. I spent a lot of time on it. I didn't know how bad it was when I bought it but fortunately I didn't pay high dollar for it. The rifle was in really nice shape before Bubba attacked it. I don't know why somebody would do that?

It didn't cost anything to repair it except a lot of hours. I had a spare sear and glue for the stock. I spent the most time on the mag tube. Both ends were mangled but the bluing matched the rest of the rifle so I wanted to save it. The bluing has a gray cast to it that would be hard to match. I cleaned up the ends on the tube and extended the front end of the tube. The bluing was the best inside the forend so I swapped ends on the tube so the good part was exposed and the repair is inside the forend. I was able to straighten the mag tube hanger pretty well and peen the dovetail back into decent shape so it all came out decent. To repair the stock I drilled holes into the fractured areas from the inletting and injected epoxy until it oozed out all the cracks. It came out solid. One thing left to do is repair the finish where it flaked off around the cracks. I am going to try hand rubbing it with varnish to see if I can get it all to blend in. It turned into quite a project but I am happy with the result.

Marc! You done good!

I got my model 64 out of layaway on saturday, it was made in 1934,
took it out with brother Bill yesterday for some jackrabbit
hunting and managed to get one


man that is a fun gun to hunt with

Way to go mooshoo, givin' that old girl (boy?) a new lease on life!

Cool, didn't appear to damage that critter to much, they got ticks on them this time of year??

Dang! Hadn't seen a jack rabbit here in years! Good looking rifle Mooshoo!

no ticks, I was using federal 150gr ammo, I hit him in the head
on a dead run and he was only thirty yards out, the rifle swung like a shotgun

Thats damned good shooting !!!
