This is for Bert or any others doing surveys.
Model 64 SN:1412458
Deer hunter 30 WCF
Lined Hammer – No stamping upper tang – No strain screw lower tang – no tang sight screw hole.
“Model 64” to right side of barrel marking.
Model 64 SN: 1318558
Standard Model –
Checked Hammer – Stamping on upper tang – W/strain screw lower tang – W/tang sight hole upper tang.
“model 64” in middle of barrel marking between Winchester proof steel and Winchester trademark.
Not sure how much of the little details you keep track of but it was interesting to see the differences Winchester made in the two rifles. Saving a few dollars was obviously important to them.

Thank you very much for the survey data. I do have one question for you… the pre-war rifle is right in the middle of several other rifles that were sold to the Canadian government (for the PCMR). Does your rifle have the Canadian Broad Arrow marking stamped on the receiver frame or the butt stock ?

No sir, no Canadian marks. Must have pulled it to fill a domestic order.
Is it common for this gun to be drilled and taped for both a receiver sight and a tang sight?

Yes, it was standard for nearly all of the pre-WW II production Model 64s to be drilled & tapped on both the upper tang and the receiver for a peep sight. What really makes no sense is that for the Model 64 rifles made in 219 Zipper, nearly all of them were milled & tapped for a No. 98A bolt peep sight, yet Winchester also drilled & tapped the upper tang and receiver, and milled a dovetail in the barrel for a rear sight!
Your pre-war Model 64 sits right in the middle of a batch of at least (8) rifles, of which (6) were shipped to Canada for the PCMR.
