I would appreciate any help with trying to find a web site, a phone # or an address that I could go to, to try and find out the history of an older rifle that I had just inherited.
It is a winchester model 70 and was purchased in 1963 or 64. I don't know which one.

| Dont know if gun broker would help ya or not. I know that they sell guns on there but dont know if they have any info on guns. Try google or somthin and type in the gun and see what it would bring up. Thats the only thing that I know to do.

HAHAHA! Allright, man! Winchester Model 70 were made from 1936-1980. It's funny that I bought the 2008 Limited Edition Winchester Model 70. The price tag was at $999. I got away for almost $800 (tax included!). It's a .30-06 caliber. Love it. Am eager to get Leupold VX-3 riflescope to match the gun.
What I would suggest you do is contact Winchester directly with the Serial Number you have on the gun that you inherited. Never trust a gun broker because of past experience. Got suckered out once on the rifle I wanted to trade and gave up so much than what the gun is actually worth. Here's Winchester's Consumer Department directly at: 800.333.3288 or 801.876.2711 & for Parts & Service call: 800.322.4626. I hope this helps answer your question. I would also encourage you to pick up some gun collector value books as well. That should help greatly.

Just type in winchester.com and go to their serial number site.
I have checked on everything from a model 1903 .22 Automatic 'take down' rifle to the modern-day model 94's.
