Pre 64 and Post 64 Model 94 1894 Winchesters

Your cameraman sucks.

I have a 6-digit (ser no) 1906 mod 95 saddle ring carbine. I picked it up at a garage sale in 1967-68 for the princley sum of $25.00 ca, it looks like it had a real life before me. but it could tell a couple stories since I acquired it. no idea what it would be worth today, but I also don't care. it looks about the same condition as the pre-64 in the video, the stocks on mine have some dings but no cracks or gouges, metal has a nice patina. it will still shoot 2" MOA. but not by me, eyes are too old. it's all scopes now, but I don't have to see that good to shoot my old 94.............just an old man story😉

Thanks for trying. Horrible camera work.

From the looks of your pre 64 rifle, it's an early 1940's made model, not 1950's.

"It looks kinda shitty" 😂😂😂

I'm going through my rifles, cleaning and learning. A Winchester 1894 came my way via inheritance. I checked the S/N and it came back as a 1905. She is beautifully aged and has what appears to be an after market rubber butt. Her only upgrade I imagine. Thank you for the info.

Great content and you really know your stuff...good video except for the camera work. Can you reshoot/refilm this video?

Great guns,but clen up your language.

The 30-30 was created in 1895.
The 8mm Lebel balle D, the very first smokeless cartridge, was created in 1886.
Then, the german M/88 in 1888. Also, .303 smokeless in 1891, same as the 6,5 Carcano. 1893, 6,5 swedish.
And those are just the ones i know of. Hardly the first smokeless cartridge.

Damn 8 years ago those pre-64s could still be had for around $300. Now you'll be extremely lucky to get a beat to shit post-64 for $300. Just picked up my 70s 94 for $700 and it looks great, I knew about pre and post 64s but didn't know the specifics, the receiver being basically powdered cast is not appealing but in function it doesn't seem to matter, maybe in another 50 years it's age will start to show but mine is a beautiful example of a 70s model. Thanks for the video!

Fire the cameraman/woman

Why drop your shoulder when you reload?

🇦🇺😎👍Nice

They only did one good thing post 64.
On the old pre guns the cartridge guides in the reciever, the screw heads were on the INSIDE of the reciever.
(Ridiculously difficult)
A real kitty to deal with!

I saw a post 64 for 950 online today used

Good, informative video

I know everyone has commented on it but it still makes me laugh so hard my stomach hurts... $300😂😐🫤😑🥺😢
what's funny is I've got a box of shells for mine that my grandpa purchased a few years ago
$3.99 for 20 rds.
I'll admit it, the way prices have skyrocketed definitely has sand in my mangina

My grandpa got me a model 94 for Christmas when I was 16 made in 1952. It is my favorite hunting rifle! Everything I’ve ever shot with it has died in its tracks, it’s never jammed, after being in some thick brush with angry pigs it always goes boom when you want it to, and it’s always been very accurate. Everyone who’s ever shot the rifle loves it as much as I do and I think everyone should have one because they’re just a fucking awesome gun!

A sub $300 pre 64 94... 8 years after this video and they go for around 700-1000 in my area

I have one with an octagon barrel I don't know when they were made.

44/40 win

$300 used
Lol. Oh man. 8 years ago
The good old days

Are the post 64 stocks interchangeable with the pre 64?

I think you need to refilm this. With the camera jumping all over in the first couple minutes, I couldn't watch it. Sorry, you might have had something useful to say.

As far as I’m concerned they are all gorgeous Winchesters!! I’d have all of them! I love Winchester lever action rifles ❤

Wrong on a lot

This is one of the best, short videos I've seen on the different models of these rifles!

If you spent two hours to train a chimp on how to use a camera, you would have had a better video. Good info but shitty camera work.

I still have mine,that my dad got for me new in 1974; I have taken several deer with it,it shoots straight & works good! & no it's not for sale!

2023 hold my beer 🍻 they now cost about $1500-$2000

I’m laughing, I bought a 1964 model 94 30-30 just because it was the first year of the controversy. I paid $350 and I’m sure it’s never gonna be a money maker. It has beautiful patina and shoots great. I pop small balloons at a 100 yards easily, it’s very accurate. I love the front sight.

I own my late father's model '94 .30-30,,,mine was manufactured in '55

Very happy with item.

I bust out laughing when u said looks kinda shitty🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm a big fan of the 1894 Winchester and I appreciate your knowledge but I must say your video does not give anybody the knowledge that you're talking about... brush up on the video skills and present a historic view of the 1864... but thank you again for presenting this.

Very clear your explanation based on what you have

I purchased a Winchester 94 last year, 2021. It's a 1978 model that is brand new, it has NEVER been fired. I paid $700 for it, no sales tax. I am still wondering whether or not I got a good deal. What do you think? Again, it has never been fired. Thank you.

Did you call out that AIR platform?

The are not guns they are rifles

I have 2150426 do you know what year it is?

Oh yes, bluing is perfect.

My 1977 has forged receiver, proof steel, ( a moly chrome steel) barrel forged lever, heavy non stamped steel lifter, and forged barrel bands, and a beautiful fantastic Walnut stock and forearm. I have had a few rifles before and after the Pre 64 nonsense.

I'd buy him all day long for 300 bucks pre

OMG! Who was operating the camera??! Geeze

I wouldn't call the ballistics of the 30-30 sh1tty if compared to the 7.62 x 39, especially when its heavier bullet and velocity are considered, and, with the new Hornady LeveRevolution ammo, it's now a legit 500 yard rifle. I have an early 80's model with a receiver mounted scope at 4x, which is just fine. If they ever take our AR's and AKs away, you'll be wishing you had one of these and 3000 rounds of ammo. The newer lever guns in tactical furniture would be excellent. A lot of 1njuns can be collected in a short amount of time.

I have a 1979 model 94 it has an elevator just like the pre 64...

Who can loan me a Time Machine? I want a $300-400 Model 94

That was great! I have a Ted Williams model 100 I think mid 70's. Its a fantastic rifle, I cast and coat 155gr lead .309 target loads, love keeping it shouldered dumping 6 rounds at 60yds. Same projectile I load for the AK hitting my 10in plate at 300yds easy. They are not the same lol. Wish I could find more 30-30 brass

*1200$ lol it’s 2022 now son !

My dad bought a brand new Model 94 in 1978 for my 14th birthday. He then promptly locked it up after I unwrapped it and said I wasn't ready for a 30-30 and my Marlin Model 60 I got for my 12th birthday would have to do.
I finally got it back last year and 33 years later promptly took it out to the range for its first shots ever. Suffice to say I was more than ready for a 30-30 and it is an incredible rifle.
