winchester model 100
I picked up a Winchester Model 100 today at a garage sale. The rifle is in 90% condition. It is chambered in .284 Winchester. The S/N is 97,xxx. I think that makes production in 1965. I don't have pics just yet, but could take some and email them. Are the values really as high as I have seen on GB auctions? Incidently, I paid $250 for the rifle with 2 clips, 2 boxes of shells, and a 4x Bushnell scope on Weaver bases and rings. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated![:)][:)][?]

I posted this same question about a month ago and would like to confirm if the response I received is correct.
I have a Winchester model 100 in .284 caliber. The serial number is 855XX. What is the date of manufacture? I was previously told the manufacure date was 1963, but it has the basket weaving checkering like those made post 63/64. Mine has checkering just like the one in this auction.

To the best of my knowledge they were all carbine-sized. Mine is. That was kind of the concept of the thing; short, handy, semi-auto woods rifle. 0 -
Winchester made both rifle 22" and carbine w/19" barrel. Check Blue Book there is alot of info there. Kind of a m14 concept action. Firing pins were known to break. Winchester warrantied many of them. Have a gumsmith check it. Pins were stamped if changed. Carbines were a little scarce. Not many made! 1967 was first year for carbine. Plain pistle grip only. 284 cal is rare in a carbine. Keep the piston clean. If you don't they're jammers.

The carbine I have come across has a plain finished stock( no checkering) and a raised cheek piece on the left side like a monte carlo stock. Is it worth the $265 that it would take to buy it. I would say 65% on the metal and about 70% on the wood. As always thanks for your replies. 0 -
Carbines have a 19" barrel and rifles a 22" and no checking on the stock and NO CHEEK PEICE.
