Thanks Trap. Your educated WAG is far better than my UNeducated one.

Information on Model 1894 25-35. Carbine with set triggers. Serial 74333, Has nickle steel barrel, it was changed at factor 1920's according to old Cody Letter and it had other work done?
Thank You
Leo

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!

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.

Thank you.

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?

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.

Well, that makes me, you, and the rifle C&R's.
