I will need the serial numbers to deteremine what the approximate DOMs are for the Winchesters. There is no Model 600 .22 caliber Winchester rifle that I am aware of... what type of action does it have?
ok, the model 600 .22 is bolt action. it's stamped. "COOEY" in big letters and then "made in canada by winchester-western (canada) limited".
can't find a serial # on it
the others are
Winchester 308 - Model:70-308 Serial #G1101670
Winchester Model # 97 Serial # 464216
The Cooey built Winchester was manufactured in the late 1960s to mid 1970s.
Your forgot the serial numhber on your Winchester Model 64... and it most likely is the most valueable gun you have on your list.
Winchester Model # 64-30WCF Serial # 1465862
i use that one for deer hunting every year. best gun i've ever shot!
oh yea, if i looked it up correctly it's a 1973?

Yes, the Model 64 is a real fine deer hunting rifle[^]. The serial number indicates manufacture in the year 1947. Depending upon the exact graded condition it could be worth very decent $$$.
I don't plan to ever sell any of these but i'm looking into insurance, homeowners and nra.
you said the "Model 97 circa 1911/12"
that is a huge suprise, this shotgun is in great condition for a used shotgun, never thought it woulda been that old. some surface rust i need to clean up but not too bad
thank you very much!

In looking at the photos of your Model 97, it is apparent that it has been reblued at some time in its nearly 100-year life time. One other thing that just popped into my brain... with a serial number in the 464,000 range, that gun should be a Model "1897" versus a Model "97". Do the both serial numbers on that gun match?
46421
so the pump slide with the tag would be would be the 97 (it has the model 97 stamp) and the barrel from another model?
ah, theirs another set of numbers on the barrel half.

Actually, the barrel assembly is serial numbered to the receiver, it is just that you are not seeing the last digit of the number (as a result of it being heavily buffed & polished prior to it being reblued). Based on the serial number, your gun should be marked "MODEL 1897" on the left side of the slide bar just like this gun - http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=49326249
ok, that makes since. i've tried to get some clear pics of the slide plate but just cant do it... maybe the plate was replaced or it was a mistake, but i don't see the 18 being buffed off.

The photos were much too blurry for me to see anything. If you take them outdoors in natural light at a distance of about 2-3 feet, they should be much clearer.
If the slide rod on your gun is marked "97", I suspect that it may be a replacement part from a slightly later era.
thats the best pic i've got and the camera is being stupid right now. but i'm sure it's a "97" o nthat part. anyways, some of the screws are partialy stripped on the heads so i'd like to replace them, i've never taken any type of gun apart but would like to start working on the ones i've got, just clean them up from the inside out and make them look good, never planning on selling. any adivce or links to good websites would be helpfull. i am a machininst so i have an understanding metal working and finishing.
