Yes, other than it really wasn’t the same, after 1964.  It was great that it existed that long, but the quality went downhill, really, not in 1964, but by the 1930’s.  It was quality that was produced when it came to lever action firearms, ever since the inception until the 1920’s or 1930’s, then not quite the same.  Model 70 Rifles are fairly nice even though these were not produced until the 1930’s.  Having said that, even though of good quality, believe it or not, place a pre-1964 Model 70 beside a Husquvarna from the same era (which can be had even today for about $400), and note which one has a smoother action and better workmanship.

I tend to collect the earlier stuff, due to the better quality and appeal, and a firearm dating from 1920 is ‘modern’ by my standards.

In another post, I asked when the Winchester factory was torn down.  When did this occur?  When was the original building built?  What is there now?  It is too bad they could not repurpose the building into something else.
