Pre 64 Winchester

rwald51
I have a friend that has acquired throught his father's death, an "in the box", pre 64 Winchester, chambered in 30/30, with the receipt. It was purchased in 1958 or 1960, I don't remember which he said. He has no use for guns and will most likely sell the item. I know that a 100% condition gun should go for about $750 according to blue book, but is that a realistic value, or do you think it could fetch more? Personally, I'd love to buy it but I'm not willing to pay that much.

    What is so great about a pre 64 Winchester? Are they much better than recently produced models. What are specific differences? Thanks in advance for your input.

    "they much better than recently produced models".........BASICLY THAT'S IT, THEY ARE MADE FROM MACHINED STEEL FORGINGS, AND A GOOD AMOUNT OF HAND FITTING AND FINISHING(AS OPPOSED TO INVESTMENT CASTINGS, BEAD BLASTING AND LOOSE TOLERENCES)
