Created on October 18th 2016
A superb .30-30 Lever Action Winchester.
A fabulous opportunity to purchase a rare rifle in .30-30 which should not be passed up. A rifle presented in excellent condition which seems to have evaded the ravages of time. This 64A is chambered in the standard .30-30 wcf calibre. Overall the rifle is 41.3/4″ in length. The round blued barrel is nominal 24″ long and the trigger pull is 13.1/2″ to center. This 64 has a shotgun style butt with a pistol grip and high comb. The flat rubber butt-plate is marked with the Winchester badge facing rearwards. The emblem reads “Winchester Repeating Arms” The walnut stock is in its original finish showing hardly any damage and is finished with a gloss surface. All the metal surfaces are blued to a high standard with only one scratch to the action where somebody has “slipped” off a screw head on the LHS of the action.
The underside of the action is marked with the serial number which is “3712517.” The rifle is fitted with a safety device which only allows the hammer to drop if the loading lever is fully gripped against the stock. Under the barrel is the half length magazine which is thought to hold five or six rounds. The front sight is mounted upon a ramp with a protective guard fitted of sprung steel.
The barrel is roll engraved alongside the rear buck-horn sights. It reads as follows: “WINCHESTER – R – MODEL 64A 30 30 WIN / MADE IN NEW HAVEN CONN. USA. WINCHESTER PROOF STEEL” Behind the sights is the Winchester factory proof mark; “WP” in an oval. The rifle has two swing swivels the front one being part of the metal fore-end cap. The only other marks on the barrel are the 2013 London proof marks for nitro. Colour loss is minimal and can only really be seen as a thinning on the lever of the action. Otherwise the tangs, both upper and lower of the action are devoid of any markings.
The rifle works well and the bore is very strong for a Winchester. It is clean and has no pitting or misting. The action is extremely smooth. Get back to the basics with this really excellent Winchester.
