What’s Included
- Winchester Model 64 Deer Rifle chambered in .219 Zipper
Built in the Deer Rifle configuration, this Model 64 uses a short/partial-length tubular magazine beneath the barrel for a 5-round capacity. The receiver is the familiar top-eject type and the left wall is factory drilled and tapped for a receiver sight; two plug screws are installed.
The rifle retains a 22.5 inch round steel barrel with a crowned muzzle and iron sights that include an open, elevator-adjustable rear sight in the barrel dovetail. Winchester Proof Steel and Winchester Trade Mark rollmarks are present.
The walnut furniture features a pistol-grip stock with a straight comb and a checkered steel shotgun-style buttplate, paired with a smooth semi-beavertail fore-end capped at the nose. Length of pull measures 13.25 inches.
Chambered in .219 Zipper, this post‑WWII Model 64 aligns with the period when Winchester offered this varmint-oriented cartridge in the platform. The serial number range indicates assembly after December 29, 1945.
