Winchester model 94

[levers]

This is an unusual Winchester model 94.    It was made about 1942 and is chambered in 32 WS.  It has a Lyman 66a receiver sight.  It is unusual in that it looks like a Winchester model 64 front on a model 94 receiver/stock.  But, the model number on the barrel has had a 9 stamped over the 6 in 64.  There is some debate among collectors on who did the remarking.  A lot of collectors says that since the model 94 sporting rifle had been discontinued much earlier, that Winchester would restamp the barrel for a customer who wanted a model 94 rifle.  The 9 looks just like a factory Winchester 9.   Some collectors believe it is not factory work.  But, there is little reason for a gunsmith to restamp the model number.  There are a lot of guns that have model 64 fronts on 94 receivers but very few that have the remarked model number.   $600 located in south Tempe area
