winchester 94 barrel

[scvpiper]

What are the diffrences between post 64 top and ae barrels? I have a winchester 94 That nees to be rebarreled and trying to find the right one. The reciever has the lower cutout on the right side and is drilled foe scope mounts. The barrel on it doesnt say ae only 30-30 ranger. SN # 5387XXX bought new in 1986.

Far as thread, except for the big bores, they are the same. The only differences are minor like where the slots are cut for the screws groing though the bands and the dovetails for the rear sight and front sight blade may be slightly difference. I've rebarreled pre 64 with post 64 barrels. Watch too for differences in top ejection and angle ejection slots in the barrel.
