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.

YOU HAVE TO OPEN THE ACTION TO REMOVE IT FROM THE STOCK, IF A PLASTIC HAMMER ON THE ACTION SLIDE HANDLE DOESN'T DO IT TAKE IT TO A GUNSMITH (OR BREAK THE STOCK). 0 -

Do you know what jamed it? I would take out the clip and put some penetrating oil around the rotating hub at the front of the bolt. I think that its not turning and thats why its jamed. also it might help the the bolt where it seats. good luck 0 -
I sprayed it here the other day and it seems to not be able to pull back in behind the bolt. I don't have a clue why it jammed. I recently moved and now it is jammed so it must have gotten jarred somewhere. I'll try again with the oil and see if I can get the rotating hub to move. It only seems to move a small amount. 0 -
So I gave a a few taps with the hammer and it budged. So I tapped it some the other direction and now it opens and slides. Any ideas what is causing it to bind? 0 -
After you get it apart, clean it real good and try it again.
To take it apart, take the screws out in the trigger guard. Pull the bolt back and when the bolt is almost all the way back, pick up on the front of the barrel just ahead of the stock, then lift it out of the stock while still holding the bolt back.
Be careful of the stock at all times. Reverse to put it back together.
Make sure the clip is out and the safety on.

MOST LIKLY THE GAS SYSTEM IS DIRTY/RUSTED, IF THE GAS PISTON IS RUSTY/PITTED BROWNELL'S HAS NEW ONES. ALSO CHECK THE FIRING PIN TO MAKE SURE IT IS THE LATER STYLE (TWO FLATS) IF IT IS ROUND YOU NEED TO REPLACE IT (MOST GUNSMITHS WILL DO THIS FREE OR FOR A SMALL CHARGE AS WIN PAYS THEM AND GIVES THEM THE PIN FREE) 0 -
I just had the firing pin replaced on one of mine according to the recall. I sent it out on Friday and got it back on Tuesday.
I used Frank LeFever & Sons, 6234 Stokes Lee Center Road, Lee Center, NY 13363 [315]337-6722. They are authorized by Winchester to do the repair which is free and covered by Winchester.0 -
Just repaired a Model 100 with the identical problem.
The trigger housing unit on that rifle is dovetailed at the front and screwed into the recoil block at the rear. Over time, they develop some slop in the dovetail. ANY looseness in the rear trigger housing screw will allow the trigger housing to drop down just far enough for the bolt to fail to cock the hammer when it is moved to the rear. Then, when the bolt returns forward the firing pin binds on the top of the uncocked hammer.
Solution: once you get it running again, Loc-Tite the rear guard screw.
