Have an Old Winchester?

[TRAP55]

You are most welcome!
Give him the info on both, he'll give you an exact day of birth for them, and maybe some more info.

Thank you sir!

Bert Hartman at Win1885@msn.com , put "Winchester" in the subject line, and tell him Trap sent you. And he's probably going to want pics.

Hey Trap! Thanks for doing this. I just picked up a Winchester Model 64 that had lived in an attic for 40 years untouched (along with an unfired Marlin Model 60 from the 70s).

The Model 64 appears to be a standard model (.30 WCF, 24" barrel, uncheckered stock), though it has a Lyman 56A peep sight that appears original (no marks in the empty dovetail for the rear site). Serial is 1328529, which in the main database just comes back with "sometime in the WWII years."

The gun is in fantastic condition and I can't wait to take it out and put a few rounds through it.

Made in 1942, with 29,882 made that year.
This is another one you need to contact Bert about for his survey, and he can give you the exact day and month it was made, and what config it left the factory in too.

Trap was burning the candle on both ends, it caught up to me and burnt my end. Tell you about it when I see you, short version is, I found out the hard way how far I could push my physical limits.

Sounds familiar hope catch up soon!

[TRAP55]

My dad has an 1885 from my family's ranch in Idaho. 40-70 Sharps. Serial number 160.

First year of 1885, with 505 made that year.
You may want to get some pics and contact Bert with this one, good chance it might be in his forth coming book on 1885's.

[TRAP55]

Ah thanks for the info!

I will have give Trapp a call when get back in town.

Not sure where Trap is, so I'll answer:

A model 1894 #988218 would have been made early in the year of 1926 with 10,790 made that year.
