Description:
RARE 20" CARBINE MODEL 64 LEVER RIFLE IN .30WCF, #1097XXX, MADE IN THE SECOND YEAR OF PRE-WAR PRODUCTION IN 1935. The standard barrel length of the Model 64 was 24" (except 26" for .219 Zipper caliber). Very few carbines with 20" barrels were made. According to the Winchester Handbook by Madis, the sales records show that from 1939-1941 only 334 of these standard M-64s with 20" barrels were sold. With the Great Depression in full swing by the year of introduction of the M-64 in 1933, sales for all calibers and barrel length were limited. After World War II, the Model 64 was continued, but the 20" carbine was not offered. This example came out of here in Montana and no doubt as some great hunting history in it! It retains fine deep barrel and magazine blue. The receiver blue has thinned to silver on the right side with good blue toward the front portion and on the loading gate, the left side shows good blue on the top portion and around the period correct fully adjustable Redfield receiver sight0- by the way the blue is good were protected by this sight leads me to believe it is original to the rifle. The bolt retains fine blue and the front sight on the barrel still has the hood attached. The rear sight dovetail has a blank filler. The butt stock and forearm are solid and show good original stock finish, only minor handling marks and just some slight wear to the bottom edge of the pistol grip on each side- probably from saddle scabbard use. Excellent screws and excellent bright bore. A rare Winchester model right out of the Great Depression!
