Thanks!
Made early in 1913, with 53,082 made that year.
Search 1892 in this thread. I posted the contact info for a guy doing a survey on them like Bert did on the Model 1894's. Every rifle's info that is contributed, gives a broader database.

Trap thanks again for all the info! I Grabbed my dads '94 while I was up there for fathers day and he asked if I could find out the date of mfg on it. So if you don't mind ,again, when you get a chance could you look it up? S/N 1593060.
Thanks!

I got Bret's contact info and I'm going to try to get some pics of my '92 over to him this week.

It's not Bert that's doing the 1892's, it's another guy, I'll try and find his info and post it here later.
S/N 1593060 was made in 1949, with 100,000 made that year.

Thanks,

Stephen, Made in 1947, but could have been made 1946.
The 24's were made from 1938 to 1957, only 5 were built in 1938, and the last one made in 1957 was 116,280.
Now, the reason I say "could have been 1946". Production records are incomplete during the war years.
In 1942 the last one made, was serial number 47,732 with, 3,215 made that year.
1943 and 44 had no production.
1945 only 230 were made with that last serial number of 47,962.
1946 had no records.
1947 shows 10,978 made, last serial number was 58,940.
Probably a safe bet that it was made in 1947.
I need to dig mine out and date it, I keep forgetting to check it!

Sorry for the late responses guys, I've been up in the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho burning up pounds of milsurp ammo, and making some noise with Tannerite. Rough job, but someone had to do it.

Made 1898, with 17,677 made that year.
Contact Bert with Good clear pics of the markings, and overall gun. There wasn't much info on the trench guns, but he can tell at a glance if it's the real thing, or something someone stuck together.
marysdad, here on the forums, with pics of the bayo and markings.

It was made in 1881, with 16,547 made that year.
The rifle has been completely refinished and collector value destroyed. As a family heirloom, it's still priceless.
It would be a safe bet it's in shooting condition, judging by the effort somebody put into the refinish. The stock was originally an oil finish, side plates were blued, and the receiver was usually color case.
What caliber is it?

Well I was never going to Sell it anyways. I can take some better photos if that helps out at all. It is worth more to me and my family to-stay as a family heirloom. I my wont to shoot it now that I Know what I have. The bore and rifling look good no real pitting or wearing. Caliber is is unknown I need to find that out. It is not marked anywhere I can see. Non of my family was ever allowed to shoot it. Also have two colt revolvers and some stage coach shot guns to get looked at and a WW-1 Luger from my grate-grate grandfather.

I have a Model 1890 in .22 Long. Unfortunately it is mismatched serial numbers. The receiver has # 401902 and the stock group has #150843.
Somewhere I researched the dates of 1910 for the receiver and 1902 for the stock group.
I was wondering if your information agrees.

Thank you

Receiver dates very early 1909, and the stock group dates late 1902.

Glamis, they were only made in 4 calibers, .22RF, .32-20, .38-40, and .44-40. .32-20 bore will measure .312, .38-40 measures .401, and the .44-40 is about .429. Some of the brass lifter blocks were marked, most were not.

Sorry DFF, I only have the pre 1964 data.
1963 ended at circa serial number 2,600,500, #3,000,000 was assembled in 1970. So just a guess, I would say about 1967 or 68?
