Hello everyone this is my first time using a forum so if I'm posting in wrong area please let me know. I was just given a Winchester 94 post 64 in 44 mag. Its manufacture date i found out is 1969. What I am trying to find out is what sub model is it and if someone can help me cause it does have a feeding problem.

Happy Holidays, and welcome to the web, fivebux.
Depending upon barrel length, and with NO other information, I'd WAG that your post-64 Model 94 .44 Mag is a standard Carbine (20" bbl) or a Trapper (16" bbl). You should also probably expand on it's feeding issues in our Gunsmithing Section. . |

I know alot of shooters like Marlins: My Model 94/sn 2018545 I think it's around 1954. My first deer rifle, for Christmas 1961. Mom was a hunter and she had a Marlin, Gave me the Mod 94 I don't recall the cal. of the Marlin but she always said it was nicer. That the 30/30 was a brute. I haven't hunted with the 30/30 in years. I used my 1903 Springfield. This coming year I traded for a model 700 243 Winchester and I plan to hunt with it. I still Target with the Springfield, It's original and I roll the dice every time I shoot it. When I was young I watched the lone ranger and Roy Rodgers, I noticed the lever action Winchesters, I can't recall for sure but all the lever Actions had round barrels. also latch top Springfields were in alot of movies. Good luck with your choice, Be careful and shoot clean Sunny

War-time.....
Mine was made during WWII. Sometime later they changed the hammer from checkered to serrated around '48to '50, I think, to speed production or reduce costs. Shortly thereafter they changed from long-wood to shortwood forearms. Old Winchesters have a grace and poise that the new ones don't quite get.
