I don't know much about guns and was wondering what my Winchester 264 really is. I was told it was built before 1964 but I don't know for sure. What is it worth if it is? It is in very good shape.

Well, the main dif. between the pre 64 and post 64 is the controlled feed claw extractor on the bolt the pre-64s have.
Winchester recently re-introduced this feature, which is a favorite of shooters that like the Mauser concept of "110% reliable" extraction. Don't confuse new with old, new ones are simply that: NEW. not in any way collectible.
Look over it's age, does it look old? if it does, and it has the controlled feed claw extractor, it probably is.
Try to find somwhere to research the serial #.
Hope this helps. You can look up prices by seeing what people are selling them for. It's probably qorth alot if it's a pre-64.

i've got confidence there's slightly greater advantageous than in simple terms swapping barrels to circulate from .243 to .308. The breech block must be re-chambered and you will locate that the fee of doing so will very probable be corresponding to buying a sparkling rifle. I particularly have a 1894 Winchester .32-40 and a double barrel 10 gage Ithaca that belonged to my grandfather. they are greater effectual as working antiques than they could be if I have been to pork them up for smokeless powder and metallic shot.

You should take a picture and host it with imageshack and put the direct link up. Take a few actually of diffrent spots on the gun. Its hard to tell without seeing the actual gun itself.
