Correct me if I'm reading this wrong, but a Model 1885 serial 314X was manufactured 1886?

That same list that I'm looking at places some of my model 70's in the late 30's ie - the 30/06 serial 507X and the .257 roberts serial 4036 were both manufactured in '37, .22 hornet serial 2991X was from '39?

The model 70 list doesn't seem quite accurate, maybe I'm missing something...

[TRAP55]

Model 1885 serial 314X was manufactured 1886?

Correct, 505 were made in 1885, 7687 were made in 1886.

30/06 serial 507X and the .257 Roberts serial 4036 were both manufactured in '37

Also correct, 9,335 made that year. Serial numbers started at 2,239 and ended at 11,573.

22 hornet serial 2991X was from '39?

Nope. Your Model 70 .22 Hornet, serial number 2991X was made in late 1940.
