Acquired a beater .30-30 Sears rifle @ gushow today. Obvioulsy post '64; receiver finish messed up bigtime.
I assume it was made by Winchester.
Ideas how to reckon a ballpark date of mfgr?
Is there an easy wasy to date a Ted Williams Model 94?

The ballpark is anywhere from 1964 to 1973, when Sears stopped selling firearms.
If it has the solid/cast lifter, then 1971 (when the solid lifter was introduced) to 1973.
If the lifter's the earlier post-64 stamped sheet metal unit, then 1964-1970

OH!! I was worried that you might be thinking of taking it out for a meal and maybe a movie or dinner and dancing.

Some where I saw a chart showing Ted Williams, (Sears) S/N data.
Maybe Blue Book of Guns, in the back of the book ?

Years ago I was in a gun shop when a guy came in and wanted to sell one of those to the shop. He called it a Ted Williams "Commemorative." Thinking it was some kind of limited edition model. Then he got mad when he thought the guys in the shop were trying to rip him off.
