The reason Winchester quit making them was the high cost to manufacter them and not because they jammed as commonly believed, they just couldn't compete price wise with Remington's semi-auto. It is sad that Winchester quit making them as they are a great gun, better than the Remingtom semi-auto, but alas Winchester is now too gone.


#Winchester 100 recall number serial number
Once you do this a couple of time it becomes very easy. Values given here reflect those rifles produced before 1964, or around serial number 2550000. Remove the forearm and trigger guard screws, pull the bolt handle all the way back, while holding it there lift the front of the barrel up tilting it away from the stock and remove the complete action from the stock. Winchesters 100th birthday was an event worth commemoration by the Company. Actually they are very easy to take apart. If you receive a call from an anonymous number, there are some ways to. I'm now in the process of glass bedding the carbine to tighen up its groups. I replaced the extractor spring with one slightly stiffer and it has never had a jam since and now throws the cases 15 feet or more. Some 100s would fire with the bolt not fully closed, and in 1990 Winchester issued a recall, which was nice of them. Give them the serial number and they will tell you immediately whether it has been repaired by having the firing pin replaced. The number to call to find out if your rifle has been repaired is 1-80. The key to reliable functioning is keeping them clean and don't drop the magazines. The Winchester 100 has a recall in effect, and Winchester strongly recommends that you do not shoot your 100 until it has been repaired. I use the carbine all the time for deer hunting in Northern Wisconsin. Both have had the firing pins replaced and both function perfectly. I own two Win Model 100's, a rifle and carbine, both in.
