Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Winchester Collectors Winchester model 64

An uncle of mine loaned me his model 64 chambered for the 30-30 and wanted me to shoot a buck with it before he died. Forty three days later he died and I have yet to shoot it. I just wish it was chambered for the 35 as I have other 35's and no 30-30's. It is a beauty and is now mine.

Don't know of any 94's or 64's ever chambered for a 35 period...mb

Thanks Bob, I did not even think of that, was doing wishful thinking. I am thinking now about trading it for a Marlin 35.

Is your 64 std or Deluxe, rifle or Carbine. PM me, I'll find you a great Marlin in 35.
Can't PM you, email me at risible-mentor.0kicloud.com
I have at least two 35s you may choose from.

The 35 Remington is rimless and the pre 64 Model 64, redundantly, for rimmed rounds! The Marlin genre in Model 336 was available in 35 Remington from 1950. The above suggestion as an excellent choice available less frequently as the 336A the Alfa designator for full 24' barrel rifle equivalent to Win model 64. Most notably perhaps if you wish to use a scope, Marlin design entirely superior as ease of mounting with further notation, a 1954 or later edition as beginning the D&T scope factory accommodation era.
Pix of such model "G" SN prefix as 1950 production bellow.

Best!

I love the Model 64.
Clean straight lines, to me it's a classic sporting rifle.
Hang a deluxe 64 rifle along with a deluxe 71 rifle and you will always get my attention!
The 64 was chambered in 219 Zipper, 25-35, 30-30, and 32WS.

The Model 64 Winchester was one of their best designs for a lever action rifle, the caliber choices ran the gamut in the rifle's day. An old family friend sold me his M/64 .30-30 for $50.00 many years ago, it had been his deer rifle.

Since I could not get on this site after being here for years I had to re-register and do not have enough posts to send or receive PM's and it appears my email addy does not show!

Everyone should have a .30-30 and your uncle bequeathed you the best you could hope for! A Model 64 Winchester is synonymous with "deer rifle".


I just threw up a little. What a way to honor your deceased uncle who entrusted you with such a prize. If my nephew did that I'd haunt his ass opening day of deer season for the rest of his life.

I'm awfully glad people sell and trade in their grandpa's and uncle's guns...my safe would be empty without their acts of disposal!

I dropped my first buck with an early borrowed model 64 that had .30 WCF (a .30-30) on the barrel, so I have an appreciation for that model Winchester. He just folded and rolled down a little hill so it was as satisfying as a first deer for a young teenager could have been.

I guess I should wear my glasses, dummkopf me typed 35 and not Marlin 336!

We do a lot of bear over bait hunting and I have taken friends of all ages out for their first bear now for almost 55 years. Our back up rifles are Remington model 8's in 35 from grandad and an uncle. I do not place a semi-auto in the hands of first time bear hunters. That is why I would trade for a Marlin lever 336 in 35 of equal value.

I have the real treasure my uncle also gave me, a Springfield 1873 carbine that was one of the few that went to Cuba in 1898. I will pass that to me son.

Keep the 64 in the family and just go buy a 35 if that’s what you “need”.

Wish I had a 35 to trade you and Im in Idaho.
I even have a Remington model 8 in 30 rem that was left to me.
I made a decision a few years ago to not get rid of guns that were gifted to me. I did that before and regret that decision.
It would haunt me to know my uncle loaned me his rifle and wanted me to kill a deer with it. YMMV

That M64 is worth at least two 336s in 35rem.

Trading that 64 for a Marlin 336 35 should be a felony in all 50 states if it isn't already. Even if it didn't belong to a deceased relative....

Whomever to admit weakness arise rising to "puking" as personal trauma reflecting moral condemnation of elections of others... More likely "puker" needing to "Seek emptional help".
My take
John!

Iskra, Thank you for the info! I will be looking for a 336A like the one in your pictures. As suggested above I will keep and treasure the 64.

I bought a Winchester 64-A (from the second run of the model) at a gun show in Virginia Beach and found it had the nicest trigger on any lever action I’ve ever used. With the rounded forearm, half magazine and pistol grip, I think it’s the nicest configuration made. If you can find one, put a receiver sight on it and see how accurate it can be.
