I picked-up this Ted Williams (Sears) Model 100 in .30-30 a few days back....They were made by Winchester for Sears from 1965 till about 1975. I gave $200.00 for it as it was a bit rough in the receiver area.
When Sears made the contract with Winchester they made a few cosmetic changes that differed from the Post 64 Model 94.
Different style of barrel band.
A Win. Model 92 type dovetailed front sight instead of a ramp front sight.
Sling swivel studs.
Forend cap.
Slightly shorter mag tube giving it a bit of a "over-bite" look.
Some say a better grade of walnut, some say lower, but the wood on this one is a nice looking straight grain black walnut.
Of course the roll mark reflected the Sears/Ted Williams brand.
Some versions also had the receiver D&Ted for a side mount/scope that was sold as a package along with a sling.
I have another post 64 M94 that can use a receiver refinish so I'm going to get a Dura-Coat kit in "gun blue" and spray the receivers. It's a solid match for the OEM finish of the post 64 mystery metal receivers.
