Well the good news is that your gun is very common.
The second good news is that whatever bolt you need, if you place an ad in the EE someone will probably have one.
The bad news is I don't understand this statement: "Also I believe the barrel has to come out to repair the threads in the reciever."
So someone with more knowledge will wander to this thread soon, and help you.
My question is if you gun takes metal magazines or plastic ones?

I'm not sure on the exact date, but Winchester bought out COOEY, and produced some of the Cooey line of guns under the Winchester name. They also sold these in the USA. (for example the Cooey 71 became the Winchester 670)
If you compare the Winchester 64 to the Cooey 64, I think you will find they are probably the same rifle. There are lots of Cooey 64s still available. Also, check out the Savage 64 that is presently available and being made today.
If you have to repair the threads in the receiver, if they are too badly ruined, you may have to rethread the hole, and an original bolt may not fit, so you might have to have one made to fit the new threads.

Thanks guys, that explains it to me, and yes I will have to remove the barrel, drill and tap the receiver a size bigger and get a new bolt machined, how do you suppose that barrel comes out of there? Thanks again, Al.

I have a metal mag that came with this gun, Al.
Cooey 64 thread pitch
An old thread, but I'm looking for similar info about thread in the receiver. Is the original thread 5/16-24? Or is it a finer pitch ie: 28,32?
I have the same problem, but think I could chase the hole with a proper sized tap.

With the thin metal in the receiver where you need to tap, chasing will not work. I have a couple actions that were done like that and had to get a new bored hole larger and retapped larger followed by a machined stud to fit. the barrel may be stubborn but by twisting it slightly it should loosen up and it is not threaded and should pull out. caution is that twisting too much can either break or bend the ejector. depending on the year it was made, this could be just a wire or a flat notched bar. It is opposite the ejection slot in the action. Best of luck in your endeavor.
The barrel is held in by a clamp its not screwed in.
Don't have to get a new bolt machined just get a used one off the EE. I bought one for 30 or so dollars a few months ago for my 64

I have one and just finished taking it all apart and to remove the barrel all that holds mine is a pin. I used a brass punch to remove it and then removed the barrel.

Perhaps I should have started a new post, but searching brought up this related topic. Newbie error on my part.
The thread farthest from the breech looks to be a 5/16-32TPI thread. This is not a standard UNF thread, but what I believe to be a UNEF, (extra fine thread). I'm missing this bolt as well but was able to form a thread with a wooden dowel turned down to .305" diameter. Counting the formed threads in the dowel gave me 32/inch.
I find it unlikely the manufacturer would use two different pitch threads in the receiver, and this may explain why Winnipeg Toymaker had trouble chasing the thread.
Can this be be confirmed by someone who has an unmangled receiver? (Does the forward screw thread into the after receiver hole).
Thanks to all for the interest.

The metal is so soft and thin that it would not take the original thread. Thus a larger tapping. The forward stud has outside threads that go into the threaded hole in the action frame, and in turn holds the u-clamp which in turn holds the barrel. You can try putting in an original stud once again but 2 threads will not hold the pressure that is put on it when you put the stock hold down screw into the other inside tapped hole in the stud, and the pressure needed to hold the barrel in place..
