RARE PRE-WAR MODEL 64 20” CARBINE, .30 WCF, #1095XXX, MADE 1935

Description:
RARE PRE-WAR MODEL 64 20” CARBINE, .30 WCF, #1095XXX, MADE 1935. This model was introduced in the most difficult year of the Great Depression in 1933 with production stopping for World War II. Relatively few of these in any variation were produced during these hard times. The 20” carbine version saw very limited production and are scarce items today. This one shows fine deep barrel and magazine blue with even deep blue on the forend cap. The receiver retains a little more than half the blue on the sides with most of the flaking on the balance point where your hand would go just below the loading gate on the right side and wrapping around similarly on the left side. Exc. blue on the bolt and good blue on the receiver ring with normal edge wear overall. Butt stock and forend show tight wood to metal fit and normal handling wear with no cracks. It is fitted with period sling swivels in the butt stock and in the forend cap that may be factory installed. Correct checkered steel butt plate. Screw heads look unturned. Buckhorn rear sight with elevator bar and ramped front sight. Action is tight and the safety half-cock holds correctly. Bore is minty bright. A seldom encountered 91 year old Model 64 Carbine.
