    Maybe it's just me, but that gun looks to have been refinished.
    Always looking for vintage Winchester and Marlin lever action rifles. Looking to sell? Know of one for sale? Drop me a line!

      I'm positive it has been unfortunately. Exterior condition and interior condition don't quite match up and the exterior markings have that sort of softness I usually associate with a heavy cleaning and re-bluing. Between that and the rear sight being kind of off, I think it's probably not in it's factory original configuration.

      At the same time, it's kind of weird that it'd still be in a musket configuration if it was heavily messed with.

        Hello, I'm afraid my offering is a relative new comer by comparison of the great old Winchesters poster previously. I have a Model 84 that has gotten very use and attention for many years. It's hardest wear has been going in and out storage. I haven't figured out the pic posting yet. Can any particular info be dug up on a model 64 #1481004 chambered in .30-30?
        Thanks in advance,

        Rusty

          Rusty, that one was made in the early part of 1948. The Model 64's serial numbers ran entirely withing the Model 94 numbers. They were made from 1933 to 1957, with approximately 66,783 made in total.

            It's been refinished. The more I try to find on this rifle, the more questions I find needing answers. I can't find enough information on your barrel markings for a .303
            I think your best bet, is going to be Brad Dunbar on the Winchester Collectors forum. He's been doing a survey on the 95's, and seems to have a particular interest in the ones chambered for .303, and a Canadian connection.

                  Thanks Trap55, I'll try that.

                  I do have one other Model 1895 in a more typical sporting rifle setup. That one is serial number 21266. Only unusual thing about that one is that it still has what I think is a factory Lyman rear sight after 120+ years.

                      Get them both in the survey, every gun adds more to the database!
                      Serial # 21266 was made in1899, with 4,744 made that year.

                            Your Model 90 was made in 1920, with 29,476 made that year. Just noticed, production dropped to 385 for 1921.
                            Is yours chambered for Long, or Long Rifle?
