WINCHESTER 64

Overview

Officially introduced in 1933 as a refined replacement for the Model 55 - another Model 94 variant - the Model 64 ceased production in 1957. Early on, it could be had in .25-35 and .32 Winchester Special. There were a very few made in .219 Zipper with a 26 barrel, but the majority of them were in .30-30.It was briefly reintroduced by Winchester in 1972 and again as a Miroku-made offering in 2011.The Japanese-made Miroku Model 64 is different from the original Winchester in two major respects. First off, it's an Angle Eject and is drilled and tapped for optic mounts, giving you a far easier scoping option than the original if this is your preference. Secondly, it features a tang safety, not always beloved by purists but a darn sight preferable - and more accessible - than the crossbolt safety in a dished-out receiver recess Winchesters were saddled with in 1992.
