I just bought a model 64 in 30-30. Turns out the follower and magazine spring was missing so the shop offered to fix it. The gun was made in 1950 I cant help but wonder if these sling swivels are factory?.1000004682.jpg

Thinking that most front swivels were threaded into the cap? Plus, it is not a Deluxe...
Someone with definative knowledge will be along shortly.
Very nice rifle!

Swivels are for sure not factory.

The Model 64 is one of my favourite rifles.In the past, I had quite a few of them,but at present time, just have one Deer Rifle left.The Deer Rifle is the name given to the deluxe version of the Model 64.:)
 
at least they are installed correctly the one in the butt stock should be 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 from the end i have seen them a1/2 in from the butt end all the way to the pistol grip actually ideally the one on the mag to should also be 1 1:4 to 1.5 ahead of the forend cap
nice rifles

What distinguishes a deluxe model 64? I just took a look at mine...just says Model 64 30-30 on the tube. So standard version?

The standard is like original posters gun which had sling swivels added after market. Standard and deluxe only differ in sling swivels and checkered stocks being offered on the deluxe. Original Winchester literature called the deluxe the " deer rifle." If I remember right.
 
I have the same pre 64 rifle in as new condition. They are one slick piece great find. Mine is checkerd and thefront swivel stud is part of the forend cap.

In the past I had two in new condition Model 64 Deer Rifles.They were too pretty to shoot.:)

Had quite a few Model 64 rifles in the past,but at present ,have only one Model 64 Deer Rifle and that one will die with me.:)It belonged to a friend of mine and had been used ,but not abused.:)It has the flat top rear sight,which cost no more,but had to be ordered special to be on the Model 64 rifle.He always referred to the rifle, as a flat top Model 64.Still have the swivels and sling that came with the rifle.

I have never owned a gun I wouldn't shoot. Once I get a new or new to me gun the first thing I do after optics is to start shooting...usually in my back yard...too impatient to go to the range.
My 64 has taken at least a dozen deer..I call it the 'Deer Rifle' too. :)

Yes that's a good part of the reason I sold those two rifles.If a firearms is too nice or too expensive to shoot,it is too nice or too expensive for me to own.:)
