Payment Types Accepted: checks, cashiers/bank check, money order Description: SCARCE AND DIFFICULT TO FIND CALIBER .25-35 MODEL 64 GREAT DEPRESSION ERA PRE-WAR STANDARD RIFLE, #1147XXX, MADE 1938. Standard caliber for this fine rifle was .30WCF or .32WS. The .25-35 and .219 Zipper are super chamberings that were discontinued after World War II when production of the Model 64 was re-started. According to the Winchester Handbook by George Madis, from 1933-1942 only 1,902 Model 64s were made in .25-35 caliber and only 861 were made in .219 Zipper. This was a model introduced during the Great Depression and relatively few were produced when production was halted for the War. This example retains about all the blue on the barrel and magazine with only a hint of ageing. The ramped front sight retains the sight hood along with the buckhorn rear sight. Even the forend cap retains fine blue. The receiver shows most of the original blue with only some edge wear and light thinning/flaking to the sides and upper tang, and excellent deep blue on the bolt. Excellent stock and forend with correct checkered steel butt plate. Excellent bright bore with tight action. One of the more difficult Winchesters to obtain.
