I see the flat steel buttplate now that is prevelant on the early post 64's similar to the steel ones on the pre-64s.

The coil mainspring set up Winchester installed near the end of the top eject models feels really nice as when cocking it is heavy at first and then gets progressively easier as you thumb it back.

One of my most accurate Winchesters was a very early post 64 like yours. Gave it to a grandbaby for his 10th birthday. He is into high intensity bolt actions at this stage of his life though.

PS I still have 3 94's LOL. I'll always have at least one that's for sure
