Default Found a nice Winchester Model 64

I like old Winchesters, and saw this Model 64 a few weeks ago at a new gun store in my little town. They mostly have new stuff at full MSRP but a few older things that were traded in. They had it priced right, but I low-balled them and they came down a bit and I passed. I figured it wouldn't last long even at their price. I went in there today and there it was. They reminded me of my offer and said they'd take it so I was stuck. I don't really mind.



Its a 30/30 from 1951. 24" barrel, half mag, pistol grip stock.



No extra holes, and the bluing isn't bad.



They put a nice piece of wood on it. It has some dents and dings, but still looks pretty good.



Metal butt plate, in case I need to bust some heads, I guess.



I don't know why it had to get its own Model number, but it has one. They made them in 30/30, .32 Spl, 25/35, and (I think) .219 Zipper. The fore-end is wider and fuller than those on most carbines. Feels good.



I don't know what I'll do with it, but I like it.

Anyone else have one?
