'94 Winchester Question

Wolfy · Post by **Wolfy** » Sun Feb 17, 2008 6:05 pm

I had a friend email me and asked about when his newly acquired '94 Winchester was made. It is the new angle-eject model and the serial number is 6046XXX. The only thing I have on the '94 is THE WINCHESTER '94......THE FIRST 100 YEARS it was published in 1991 and does not have that information. A 1993 article from American Rifleman that I had stuck inside the front cover said that the 6,000,000 mark had been reached in 1992, but that is all the information that I can give him.

Can anyone tell me where to go to find that information or better yet, tell me approximately when the rifle was built? I figured if anyone could help me, this would be the place to go. Thanks.

This is the same as below, and all it will tell you is after 1982, unfortunately.

Thanks for the tips guys, but unfortuately this rifle was manufactured after that period in the tables. Anybody else have any ideas?

Does it have a crossbolt safety?

Yes, it does.

It was made 1994 and after.

I got this from our own OD a couple years ago. I don't know of any AE list by serial number.
