He could if he didn't have floatersMan don't I wish!
Those are sometimes referred to as the "Classic" series and may have that indication roll stamped on the barrel. Nice guns and smoother moving parts than the pre-64. I've had a few pre-64s in .270 and .30-06. It's more nostalgia for me than anything.I have a late model 70 Winchester in 300 WSM and it's controlled round feed.
What makes the pre 64 Winchester 30-30 more expensive than later models? Just curious.
I'll say this about the Remlin situation. I've been in the "business" for a day or two. I've met plenty of reps and some owners. One of them that worked for Remington was there when they took over Marlin. ACCORDING TO HIM, the manufacturing equipment that Marlin was using was -generally speaking- well used and pretty worn. Remington upgraded the machinery to bring things back into tight tolerances.
I wouldn't mind knowing the serial number cutoff for the pre 64 models my friend. Just so I would know one when I saw it.Mup,I've got a book at home about the model 94 by a guy named Mattis I believe, it tells every thing about that rifle. If there is something particular you want to know let me know and I'll try to look it up for you.
I'll look it up but you will know, just open the gun and shake it!!! If it sounds like a bunch of loose parts( which it is) it's a post 64!I wouldn't mind knowing the serial number cutoff for the pre 64 models my friend. Just so I would know one when I saw it.
I'll be the judge of that. Send them both to me and I'll get back to you.For those that want to FEEL the difference, Ive got a model 1894 that was made in 1895 you can play with and compare it to a post 64 gun. Night and day difference.
Seems like a ton of commemorative models post 64 to increase salesI'll look it up but you will know, just open the gun and shake it!!! If it sounds like a bunch of loose parts( which it is) it's a post 64!
My dad had 1969 gold spike commemorative. Pretty but a chump just the same.Seems like a ton of commemorative models post 64 to increase sales
Yes. It didn't really work all that well though. Consumers want to determine what is collectible. Nowadays, the practice seems to be more accepted. Henry does basically the same thing and so do other manufacturers in the form of limited production runs.Seems like a ton of commemorative models post 64 to increase sales

Me as well. I do have a pre64 Model 94 30-30 that is at best 85% but overall functional at 100% . The - 15% is cosmetic.I wouldn't mind knowing the serial number cutoff for the pre 64 models my friend. Just so I would know one when I saw it.
Thanks brother .@MUP and everyone else, I hope this helps. Be sure to look at Page 9 as that is where the information begins on the model 94. According to this source, all pre-1964 model 94s were serial numbered below 2,700,000. Post 1964 model 94s began with serial number 2,700,000.
Iglow is 100% correct. 65 to 77 the 94 sucked. Unless you have owned both and I do and have the newer ones is not in the class of the Pre 64.pre 64 94s are a whole different world from post 64 94s, the bad ones are from 1965 to 1977. 1978 on were better but not near the gun the pre 64 are.
