    To continue on with the subject of the model 67 Winchester, I'm still interested in learning to hear from you as to what other features it might have that would identify a first year production rifle aside from the finger groove stock.

    When I made note in the other thread about Madis' The Winchester Handbook it was in realtion to a good Winchester book that covers a lot of different Winchesters, and not any one particular book that covered just a small portion of models like the single shot variety. So, here again, if there is a Winchester reference book available to the public that covers as many models with the detail that Madis' The Winchester Handbook offers, then I'd really like for you to share this with those of us in the market for such a publication.

    Bert, books like Madis' The Winchester Handbook is a superb publication, but it seems like you do not want to recognize this piece of work as being a fine source for most all Winchester models ever produced, that's fine by me. I might add that I have a superb collection of reference books, but sadly they are most all packed away and have been for a long time now which is why I asked you questions about the 67. Also, most people do not own a firearm library, and this is where Madis' has made such a big hit with the public in that he has two books that the typical Winchester fan can afford that answers most any question they might have about any Winchester. I'm still on the lookout for any comparable publication.

    You are the man, Bert, but my Winchester dom booklet says that a model 95 with a serial number of 78XXX was manufactured in 1915. It also states that 102,150 were made that year. Probably most of them went to Russia. Another 203,177 were manufactured in 1916. 293,818 of the production from these two years went to Czarist Russia. My 95 in 30-06 cal. is #419,XXX, book says 1927, is this correct? Eddie

    Winchester built model 64 rifles and carbines, do you know how many of the carbines where manufactured? At one time my father had both a rifel and a carbine, both in 30-30. The rifle was the higher grade gun with checkering and sling swivels, the carbine was a standard, non checkered model with a 20" barrel. I've always been told that the carbines where pretty rare, I know I've not ran into many of them. Thanks for your help and knowledge.

    I have 3 ???.Did the 1890 22 short come with a Lyman Tang Sight or was that a later add on??When was the last year of the curved metel butt plate on 1894??On the same gun if the barrel was cut from a rifle to 18 1/2 carbine size does that effect the value??
    Thanks in advance Rick

    Hi Bert. I came across an 1892 today. Takedown model with a round barrel. Tang sight. Serial # 488388. It's original finish is all gone and it has a nice patina. Would you have any info on his rifle and its approximate value? Most I see have an octagon barrel.

    Thank you

    Mark

    I have (106) Model 64s recorded in my survey thus far. Of that number (6) are Carbines (20-inch barrel). According to historical documents, the Carbine variant was introduced in 1934 (the 2nd year of production), and was available throughout the remainder of the production period.

    According to several documents that I have, Winchester manufactured a total of 66,783 Model 64s between 1933 - 1957. If my survey is used as an indication of the production ratio, 5.66% (or 3780) of the total production would be Carbines. I suspect that I am not too far off of the mark.
