It appears that you have a Model 1894 (manufactured in March 1906) that somebody rebarreled sometime after March 1933, sometimes referred to as a “Frankenchester”.

If you are curious, you can remove the magazine tube and forend stock and check the 2-digit year number stamped on the bottom of the barrel. That will identify the earliest possible year that the Model 64 barrel was installed.

Hey Bert, I got a Winchester, Model 64 – 30 W.C.F with a Serial Number of: 1439115

Was hoping you could tell me what year it was manufactured? Best I can tell if I’m reading the manual right is it falls into the 1943-1947 range of “no record” 

Thank you! 

Model 64 s/n 1439115 was manufactured in late June or early July 1947.  The manual you are reading is not factual.

Is your Model 64 a Standard rifle or a Deer Rifle?  24″ or 20″ barrel length?

Bert

Appreciate the information! It’s a Deer Rifle, 24” barrel length!

That fits in with all of the other Model 64s I have documented in the same serial range… all Deer Rifles in 30 WCF.

[Image Can Not Be Found]I’ve been researching this rifle that belonged to my late father. I was just wondering if somebody could shed a little light on this and tell me exactly what I have here. I know the basics but the serial numbers dates are a little fuzzy. I’d very much appreciate. It’s a model 64.30 WCF. Chambered in 3030 rn. With a serial number of 1089043

The serial number identifies it as a March 1933 production rifle.  I will need to see pictures of it to further identify which specific variant that it is.
