FWIW, Hi Dan, Thanks for the PM. The reason that I didn't want to make the list of DOM public is simply because it may not be 100% accurate. The beginning and ending serial numbers for each year could be off by several hundred in some cases. You may make it public if you want, however, there is no w...

You're welcome Sir, but no thanks are needed, OS, I love 'em too.

5569762 was purchased on 3/14/90. That's what the list says too. 1989 to 5,527,732 1990 to 5,612656 OD - I see that is true; it was only meant as point of information. 42,000 rifles just seems like a lot for the first two months of the year when they only made 84,000 for the year on those #s Yes Si...

Oh well, Sadly it's a US Repeating arms Manufacture. But it's still a neat gun, And I won't feel bad shooting it.... Gotta get the House Major Hunny Do completed, Than to the range....

From the mid '30s thru early '40s, they're not.

OD*

The whole point is, no list, none, pre or post 64 is 100% accurate. Just because a serial dates to a certain year, does not mean it was MADE in that year. Even Winchester won't tell you when it was built, they can't, they can only tell you when that particular receiver was given it's serial number. ...

At least I have a Ball Park Date,

5590xxx, Anyone care to guess if it is a Winchester or USRA Manufacture.

Probably USRAC, change occurred near 5 million serial number.
Check the Winchester logo on the butt-cap, in fine script it will say if it's a USRAC.

I have sent Jim a PM regarding his serial number list, if I don't hear back from him, you'll have to join and request the information yourself.

OD*

OD, JBledsoe's attitude towards me is the main reason I do not post over on Beartooth Shooters Forum much any more. Not only has he just about taken over the Win 94 section, but he has acted towards me as if I'm a buffoon for stating what I knew on that forum. I always state that what I print is ac...

Old Savage wrote:OD - are those #s beginning the year or ending? The way you stated it they sound like ending #s.

Correct, OS, ending numbers.

No thanks needed Paul, you know how much I like messin' with the '94s and 1911s.

I happy to hear the old rifle was blooded again.

OD*

Maybe we'll get to see each other again next year.
Last time was what, Athens, Texas? Too long in any case.

Hi Paul, long time no see.

No Sir, we haven't made it to an Arkansas CSA yet, seems something is always happening here around that time in March. We are going to do our darnedest to make the next one.

OD*

oldmax, Your 94AE is a "Trapper" model, and it was made 1986 to 1991. There is no serial number chart that I know of after USRAC took over the Winchester line. The info I have came from OD who used to post here. Rebounding hammer introduced 1981 Angle Eject introduced 1983 .45 Colt Trappe...

It has the thin barrel and by it serial number it's a 1989.

Hey Frank, still around, though less frequent. I do spend the majority of my computer time on 1911 boards. I was getting a little tried of the off topic posts, folks can say "don't read 'em" but there for awhile it didn't leave much else to read. :( Then when I do happen by, I find this un...

They had black chrome plated receivers.

I don't think it was a 1911. I think it was a Colt 1903.

Colt was shipping them in 1912. My apologies, I was always to the thought it wasn't until 1913 they became a commercial gun :oops: I think 1913 was the year for Navy/Marine Corps adoption.

No apologies needed my friend.

I'm just a huge junkie of the 1911/Government Models.

When then was it available to the public? They were manufactured for commercial starting in 1912 but didn't hit shelfs until 1913. Colt was shipping them in 1912. Government Model, serial number C380 was assembled on 17 July, 1912 and shipped to Pacific Hardware & Steel Company, San Francisco C...

When then was it available to the public? The first 40 M1911 pistols were assembled on 28 Dec, 1911 for the military. The first 43 Government Models (civilian pistols were not called 1911s) were assembled on 09 Mar, 1912. If Zane's character knew someone or had a whole lotta pull at Colt, it "...

Howdy Regarding the 'Henry Repeating Arms' company of the 19th Century: Oliver Winchester and B. F. Henry had a falling out around 1865 or so, mostly over money.

I suppose it's like the other manufacturers, Cas, they build to different price points.
