bigger hammer, My data on the 94's is only on pre 64's, with the last serial number of 2,600,500. My best WAG was late 70's, maybe '77?
Serial # 1,000,000 was engraved and presented to President Calvin Coolidge in 1927
1,500,000 was presented to President Harry S. Truman on May 8th, 1948
2,000,000 was presented to President Dwight Eisenhower in 1953
2,500,000 was assembled in 1961
3,000,000 was assembled in 1970

All told, by January of the year 1980, 5,200,000 Model 1894/94 Rifles, Carbines, and Commemoratives, had been manufactured at Winchester’s New Haven factory.

Leo, Serial# 74333 was made mid 1899, with 26,207 made that year.
The first one chambered in 25-35 W.C.F. was serial# 5014, made 7-18-1895.
Leo, was the factory barrel replacement from 25-35, back to 25-35?
Single set, or Double set triggers? Was their any change with the sights?
If you can scan the Cody letter and post it, or email it to me, so I can post for you, it would be interesting to see, I'm sure the forum members would like to see what one looks like too!

Thank you!

There's a gentleman on the TFF forums, doing a 1892 survey like the one Bert has been doing on the 1894's. He would be very interested in yours, being a special order. I'll get his contact info for you, and edit it to this post.

d@rk51d3, twobit, aka Michael is doing the survey.

Hi Trap55,

I'd like to know about my Model 100 in .308, serial number 1935. I know it's pre-'64 because it has the cut checkering (not pressed, like later years). I think it was made the first year they came out with this model, 1961?, but not sure.

Thanks,
Mike

Yep Mike, probably Jan of 1961, with 32,189 made that year.
Made 1961 to 1973, total of 262,838 made. Last serial number that is "pre 1964" was 78,863.
Mike, has yours had the firing pin recall done yet?
Quote:
Contact them at 800-852-5734 or write them at:
Winchester Firing Pin Recall Notice
PO Box 10 Cottage Hills, IL 62018
If you will send them the old firing pin along with the s/n they will send a new pin and a gift card for $30.00 to cover installation.
Be sure the pin has not been changed to the new style before tearing into the action. The old style pin can be rotated in the bolt while the new style has a milled flat that prevents rotation. The back of the pin can be examined through the magazine well without dis-assembly.

Thanks! Very nice of you to do this, Trap.

Yes, I had the firing pin replaced by a local 'smith a couple years after inheriting it, right around 2000 or so (after reading about the firing pin recall online). My 'smith sent the stock pin to Winchester, they sent him the new one, and he installed it. So I'm good there.

Jan. '61 means this rifle is just over a year older than I am.

You're welcome Chad.
An 1885 Winder has always been on my wish list. Run across several good deals back when they were cheap, that I passed on hoping to find something better...dumb mistake. With the prices now, I could have sold a couple of those, and bought a museum grade Winder.

Is there a place to go to buy a Winchester specifically? Gun stores may have a couple on the shelf but I want a really nice old shooter, maybe online? I don't know what to look for so I need to trust a shop.

The Big Reno Show, specifically the Spring (this weekend), and the Fall show. Winchester collectors from all over make this show their meeting place for the western US. I've never been, but I hear the only two rivals are the Tulsa, OK show, and the Cody, WY show.
Make the Reno Show, and I'll hook you up with Bert Hartman. He's already been there before the show starts, and knows where every Winchester in the building is. All you have to do is tell him what you are looking for, and what you have to spend,....then cut him loose. Let him do the haggling on price, and you'll be done within an hour.

THIS weekend? Oh geeze no can do, drat! When is the fall show, are the dates set yet? I'll for sure make it if the Army hasn't sent me to some fun place then.

But the flip side.... I trust CalGuns folks to the point, Trap55, that I feel I can say "Let me Paypal you $3,000 and get me something to be proud of." I'd do just that but I'm going to go broke at a gun store tomorrow for ordered items.

Then again I have no idea HOW MUCH I would need to get something nice. Is there a place I should start reading?

Hey Trap, I just picked up another Old Winchester 1894 Rifle...Serial Number is: 786356.
Curious of the date of manufacture...Somewhere along the line, someone had the receiver, top of barrel, Lever engraved, and Silver Inletted Scene with Deer.., Checkered and carved the stock, and refinished rifle....No Doubht it's not Original, but, still a Really Cool Model 1894.

Thanks again, Terry
