Much thanks, UTAF

How to date my Winchester 94'?
- Thread starter Until the Angels Fall
- Start date
Not too certain posting the whole serial number will serve you best...colour me paranoid.
4193### was made in 1975
found here: oldguns.net/sn_php/windateslookup.php?file=win1894.dat
Very handy for '94 dates!

Good call...I fixed it now, thanks for the heads up! So I guess mine is not one of the "great" pre 64' ones then lol

Just man up and ask her, she'll probably say yes. Take her for a nice dinner, maybe a movie. End it with a late night walk under the full moon. She'll be butter in your hands.
For 6 diget 1894 rifles, I use this formula.
Take the 1st diget, double it & add 2, that will get you close to the yr produced. Very early rifles (1900-1905) will be a yr or so before that number & later rifles (1915-25) will be a couple yrs after that number.

Thanks for the link. I have been meaning to find out the date of manufacture for the '94 I recently picked up, so I just did - 1951!
Just to confirm. Is your 1951 model 94 drilled and tapped for an aperature sight?
They were in 1956, but I don't think yours would have the two holes on the left side of the receiver.
On advice...
This advice is only good if your ego can tolerate the rejection....I had a shine on an SKS and, she laughed at me....coping but, not well. Russian ammo-pig! (insert titter here...)
This advice is good...can be done "on the fly" at a show(vegas) or, at a gunstore (gun-peelers...)
Sometimes, I don't care how much older than me they are...
