New Member Rifle Identification help
Posted: Sun Feb 23, 2014 5:42 pm
Hello,
I am new to this forum but not to the shooting sports.
I recently inherited a Winchester 94 ser#27795xx from my father who bought it new.
I have all of the paperwork, box and what looks to be some sort of rust preventing brown paper in the box. The rifle has seen time in the deer woods since new as that was his intended purpose.
So my question is..Proofhouse dates this to being made in 1964. So is it a Pre-64..or a Post 64 model. It does have a metal butt plate (checked it with a magnet) but also looks to have a thin "elevator" although I have nothing to compare it to.
I am really curious.
Any information or insight as to what I have would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
