    Hi Trapp,

    I have a Model 94, SN 1144317 in 32WS.

    Thanks!
    Next to me in the blackness lay my oiled blue steel beauty. The greatest Christmas gift I had ever received, or would ever receive. Gradually, I drifted off to sleep, pringing ducks on the wing and getting off spectacular hip shots.

          Identify Please

          Winchester Model 1895 30-40 krag
          We think the Serial #:69043
          It has the patent #(Nov 5, 1895) stamped on it but it also has a Date of Aug 1907 not sure if that would be the year? The barrel is approximately 27" long the overall gun is 47" the stock is 13.5 in long. We are needing this information to find a replacement stock as the original was damage in a hunting accident 20 yrs ago.

            Made early in 1910, with 4471 made that year.
            Post a pic of your stock and the damage, and I'll see what I can do to help you out. If it's repairable, it's better to keep it original. They used a flat buttplate and a crescent one, here's some repro stocks.

              I'm pretty certain it's made in 1907, but I have a Winchester 1907 serial #1152.
              Never initiate force against another. That should be the underlying principle of your life. But should someone do violence to you, retaliate without hesitation, without reservation, without quarter, until you are sure that he will never wish to harm - or never be capable of harming - you or yours again.

                    Hydrophilic, sorry for the late response, life is a bit complicated right now.

                    Model 1876 sn. 124xx was made in mid to late 1880, with 4,749 made that year. What caliber is it?
                    Model 1873 sn. 210xxxB was made in 1886, with 25,354 made that year.

                      Thank you so much for the info. I believe my model 76 shoots a .45-60. Ill double check next time I pull it out. Would you also be able to tell me the year of my model 90, sn 7041, my 1887 shotgun, sn 47339, and my model 94, sn 470795? I know things are probably crazy with the new year so take your time. Thank you for all you are doing.

                        Is this old enough?



                        Model 1876 Centennial in 45-75 caliber. Serial number 1276 I believe (haven't looked in a while).

                        I found it in the Blue Mountains of Oregon near Granite in 2003 while I was archery Elk hunting about 4 miles up a mountain from the nearest road. I had just shot a Cow Elk and laid my pack next to the first blood to get out my tracking tape. When I picked up the pack I saw 8" of the octagon barrel sticking out of the dirt from under a rotten log. I don't even want to contemplate the odds of my finding it under those circumstances. Had I not shot the Elk in exactly that spot it would still be there.

                          That'll buff out.
                          Serial number 1429 was the last one made in 1876, so it was a first year gun.

                            Crazy with the new year? It's been complete chaos for the last 16 months! Divorce, had to go back to work, elderly parents in and out of the hospital, moving them into assisted living, cleaning out a 2200sq ft house of 60+ yrs of accumulated stuff, refinancing my house to pay off the ex wife, and averaging 4hrs of sleep a day the whole time. Crazy? I think it's my new normal.

                            Model 1890?, sn 7041 was made in 1891, with 10,639 made that year.
                            Model 1887, sn 47339 was made in late 1892, with 9,830 made that year.
                            Model 1894, sn 470795 was made in late 1910, with 29,971 made that year.

                                How about a Model 1894 serial 803034?

                                thanks!
