The original deep blued finish was swapped out for a cheaper metal finish on post 64's. Winchester also used stamped steel and cheaper parts for the 94's so that production costs would remain low enough for average hunters. Pre 64's are excellent, but for deer hunting etc post 64's are still good firearms.
