Firearms dating information

According to this, My Remington SPS DM, 270win with KY left of the barrel ahead of the receiver was manufactured in May of 1974. Can that be correct or am I using the chart wrong?

I don't think they had DM's in 1974 and would be more inclined to see it as May 2002.

Since my list only went to 2002, am I correct in adding years in a progression with the alphabet.

The above chart shows the approximate first serial number shipped for the indicated year. This number should be used as a point of reference only. It is not necessarily the very first serial number shipped, but it can be used to determine the approximate year your Ruger firearm was shipped.
Ruger does not produce firearms in serial number order. There are occasions when blocks of serial numbers have been manufactured out of sequence, sometimes years later. Also, within a model family the same serial number prefix may be used to produce a variety of different models, all in the same block of serial numbers. And in some cases, models may be stored for a length of time before they are shipped.
For details on your specific serial number you may contact our Service Departments:
• Rifles, Shotguns, Revolvers: 603-865-2442
• Pistols: 928-541-8892


Hope this helps;

Post 2007 Remington model 870 shotgun

You can't use the serial number anymore for dating...

As most of you know, in June 2007, a private equity firm called Cerberus Capital Management aquired Remington Arms (under the banner "Freedom Group") along with a bunch of other companies. Under Freedom Group, they have gone to a new serial numbering system. It begins with RS, which stands for Remington Shotgun, and then has 5 numbers and ends in a series letter. They started with A, are now on B, and will go to C when all the numbers are used up in the B series. Actually, they may already be in the C series (?).

For example, my 870's serial number ends in B.

To DATE:

Look at the two digit date code on the left side of the barrel (assuming the barrel is original to the shotgun):

For example, the date code on the left side of my barrel is "WF", which corresponds to a production date of August 2011. Since I purchased this shotgun on September 2, 2011, it must have been "hot off the assembly line"!

Hi Joe,
Deer Doctor (Jim) mentioned to me that you are the Savage Man. I need your help. I have a Savage Model 112 (V-S)? in 220 Swift. It has a 26 inch heavy barrel and black plastic stock with check piece, long action.
Serial number F324216. Do you know whay year the gun was made? Is it a FV or F? the -S means single shot but that's all I know for information on this gun is not out there.

Thanks,
Don,---(Huntdon)
 
Winchester:

Bert Hartman has been a Moderater on Gunbrokers "Ask the experts" for many years.
For several years he has spent at least two weeks a year as a volunteer at the Cody Museum of Firearms research room.

This is a post that he has made and I hope you find it as informative as I have.


A bored mind is a terrible thing to waste, so having some free time to kill, I finally put together a fact sheet on the true production ratios and the verified DOMs for the Winchester Model 1894/94.

As many of you will undoubtedly note, the figures I have compiled below vary significantly from the numbers published by George Madis in his tomes "The Winchester Book" and "The Winchester Handbook". All of my statistical numbers were derived from a detailed survey (conducted by the Cody Firearms Museum) of the first 353,999 serial number records, and from the Polishing Room Serialization Record Books (held by the Cody Firearms Museum).

Unfortunately for all of the many collectors and interested people, all of the remaining pre-64 factory warehouse records (serial numbers 354,000 - 2,600,000+ were destroyed in a fire in the late 1950s or early 1960s. Undoubtedly, all of the caliber, and the Rifle versus Carbine production number ratios would change drastically if the records were available for serial numbers 354,000 - 2,600,298. The Polishing Room Serialization Record Books (PRSRBs) which contain nothing more than just the serial number, fortunately survive up to serial number 1,352,066, which was manufactured on December 29th, 1945.

For all of the many people who collect the Model 1894/94, this information should be both very enlightening and useful, and I highly encourage everyone to save a copy of it.

Production ratios for the first 353,999 Model 1894s made:

4:5 (78.19%) were Rifles (276,780)
1:5 (21.20%) were Saddle Ring Carbines (75,075)

1:2 (45.92%) was a 30 W.C.F. (162,568)
1:5 (22.80%) was a 38-55 (80,734)
1:9 (11.31%) was a 32-40 (40,023)
1:9 (10.45%) was a 25-35 W.C.F. (36,999)
1:11 (8.77%) was a 32 W.S. (31,050)

1:13 (7.60%) were Take Down Rifles (26,934)

9:10 (91.6%) had a full length magazine (324,270)
1:13 (7.51%) had a 1/2 magazine (26,579)
1:688 (0.15%) had a 2/3 magazine (515)
1:770 (0.13%) had a 3/4 magazine (459)
Just (1) gun had a 7/8 magazine

1:20 (5.02%) had a shotgun butt (17,768)
1:584 (0.17%) carbines had rifle butt plates (606)
1:1655 (0.06%) had a Swiss butt plate (209 rifles, 5 carbines)
1:3308 (0.03%) rifles had carbine butt plates (107)

1:26 (3.88%) rifles had pistol grip stocks (13,703)
1:34 (2.97% had checkered stocks (10,512)
1:718 (0.14%) carbines had pistol grip stocks (493)
1:4023 (0.025%) had carved stocks (81 rifles, 7 carbines)
1:9567 (0.01%) had a cheek piece (37)

1:69 (1.46%) had a double-set trigger (5,153)
1:70800 (0.0014%) had a single set trigger (5)

1:3026 (0.033%) were nickel plated (117)
1:3978 (0.025%) were silver or gold plated (89)

1:668 (0.15%) were inscribed (530)
1:998 (0.10%) were engraved (355)
Just (1) gun had a matted receiver (on the frame ring)

1:1744 (0.057%) had a matted barrel (200 rifles, 3 carbines)
1:3000 (0.033%) rifles had interchangeable barrels (TD) (118)

1:2255 (0.044%) had a case hardened receiver (155 rifles, 2 carbines)

1:88500 (0.0011% had a factory installed scope (4)
Just (1) rifle had a factory installed Maxim silencer (Teddy Roosevelt’s)

(2067) records are blank
(184) were sold as receivers only

Serial number 53,941 is the last “Antique” number based on the information in the Polishing Room records.

For the years 1894 through 1945, the DOMs published by George Madis (and copied/republished by nearly every other reference book or internet website) do not agree with the original surviving factory records (the factory warehouse ledgers and the PRSRB records), and they are inaccurate by nearly four years in the 1896 - 1914 timeframe.

Winchester began producing Model 94s at an accelerated pace starting in 1935. By the end of the year 1935, Madis' published DOM list and the PRSRB records only differ by just (17) serial numbers (1099625 versus 1099608), but they rapidly begin to diverge in the ensuing years.

Winchester's production of the Model 94 averaged about 35,000 units per year for the next (7) years (1936-1942 inclusive), and once again, Madis’ published numbers diverge from the PRSRB records. The PRSRB records end at serial number 1,352,066, which is listed as the last Model 94 serial number recorded on December 29th of 1945.

Following WW II, Winchester averaged approximately 100,000 Model 94s per year from 1946 - 1953, then about 55,000 per year through 1963. The numbers I have listed below are estimates that are based on my research survey, and they should not be relied upon to determine an "exact" DOM.

1946 ended at circa serial number 1,411,000
1947 ended at circa serial number 1,470,000
1948 ended at circa serial number 1,560,000
1949 ended at circa serial number 1,660,000
1950 ended at circa serial number 1,760,000
1951 ended at circa serial number 1,875,000
1952 ended at circa serial number 1,960,000
1953 ended at circa serial number 2,045,000
1954 ended at circa serial number 2,100,500
1955 ended at circa serial number 2,156,000
1956 ended at circa serial number 2,211,500
1957 ended at circa serial number 2,267,000
1958 ended at circa serial number 2,322,500
1959 ended at circa serial number 2,388,000
1960 ended at circa serial number 2,453,500
1961 ended at circa serial number 2,510,000
1962 ended at circa serial number 2,564,500
1963 ended at circa serial number 2,600,300

Winchester changed the designation from "Model 1894" to "Model 94" very shortly after a "Change in Manufacture Order" was issued by Frank F. Burton on February 2nd, 1919.

The following list contains verified Model 1894 dates based on the factory warehouse ledgers (held by the Cody Firearms Museum). The actual DOMs listed in the PRSRB will typically precede the "received in warehouse" date by an average of 4-weeks.:

EDIT: I recently added a very significant number of new serial numbers to this list. It should now very clearly show the progression of verified dates of manufacture. I do not plan to add any additional new serial numbers to the list on this post. That said, I am still updating my personal database survey with additional verified numbers. If anyone would like to contribute to the survey, please send me a PM.

Significant serial numbers;

1,000,000 was engraved and presented to President Calvin Coolidge in 1927
1,500,000 was presented to President Harry S. Truman on May 8th, 1948
2,000,000 was presented to President Dwight Eisenhower in 1953
2,500,000 was assembled in 1961
3,000,000 was assembled in 1970

All told, by January of the year 1980, 5,200,000 Model 1894/94 Rifles, Carbines, and Commemoratives had been manufactured at Winchester’s New Haven factory.

As I was going through some of the recently posted questions on the forum, I realized that I had neglected to address the dates and serial numbers for the introduction of the various calibers... the following list should help rectify that.

edit: I received a request concerning when and what the first Saddle Ring Carbine (SRC) was, so I have added this new information;

38-55 Rifle - serial number 24, 10-22-1894
38-55 Carbine - serial number 46, 3-36-1895 (by serial number order)
38-55 Carbine - serial number 471, 11-1-1894 (by date order)

32-40 Rifle - serial number 692, 12-14-1894
32-40 Carbine - serial number 1409, 1-18-1895

30 W.C.F. Rifle - serial number 3314, 5-29-1895
30 W.C.F. Carbine - serial number 4787, 6-24-1895

25-35 W.C.F. Rifle - serial number 5014, 7-18-1895
25-35 W.C.F. Carbine - serial number 6506, 10-1-1895

32 W.S. Rifle - serial number 107731, 10-5-1901
32 W.S. Carbine - serial number 22967, 8-27-1902 (by serial number order)
32 W.S. Carbine - serial number 142889, 5-10-1902 (by date order)


The above information should allow anyone with a letterable Model 1894 (serial 1 - 353999) to very closely estimate the DOM. For those who are interested in adding your Model 1894 to my database, please get in touch with me at Win1885@msn.com

Additionally, Winchester did not assemble any of the many different models in serial number order.
When the receivers were serialized and polished, they went into large bins and were sent to the finishing room (were they were blued).
After being blued, the receivers were sent into the Assembly Room (in bins) and were then assembled into complete firearms in complete random order.
In some cases, the bins were refilled before the bin was completely empty, and that left on older serial numbered receiver on the bottom of the bin for months, and sometimes a few years.

Browning BLR:


Production of the BLR as we know it, which had the magazine that extended below receiver, began in 1970. Now I know this will raise some questions and retribution from some who have researched Browning BLR’s, but I challenge you to show me a pre-70 Belgium BLR. I will change my article and give you credit if you can. Almost everything that you read/research states they started the production in 1969, but there are no BLR’s from that year that I can find and/or verify. I will also note that all of my research shows that “all official” references for determining “early 69-75” Browning BLR years of production using the serial numbers are also somewhat wrong. Go to the Serial Number portion of this article to see what I am writing about.

The original BLR’s receiver were made of steel and they had an extended magazine. The first two calibers were .243 Winchester and .308 Winchester. They were straight stocked and as best as I can tell, all the Belgium produced models all had oiled finished stocks.

Next came the move to have all of the BLR’s produced by Miroku in Japan. This change was needed because of production costs. Again, my research has found that “official records” are probably wrong. Almost all references state that the “Japan” produced BLR’s began in 1971/72. I can absolutely show you “Belgium” marked BLR’s from 1973 and I have some very good backup sources that will support me in this statement.
I should also note very early on in this article that the Japanese made BLR’s are every bit as good as any earlier produced FN Browning BLR. Miroku produced BLR’s have a polyurethane type finish to the stock and forearm.

The BLR 81 started in 1981 with some minor changes including a flush magazine. The long action calibers came on the scene in 1991 and this is when the fluted bolt and fluted receivers started. There was also a change to the lever mechanism during this change over. There was additionally a recall associated with the long action calibers of 1991, which was apparently the rifle could fire from a half #### position. It may also have something to do with dissimilar metals in the lever system which can expand/not expand in very cold weather causing parts to bind. The Lightning BLR (aluminum receiver) came on the scene in 1996 and the Lightweight Model 81 came on the scene in 2003. The Lightning started out with a pistol gripped stock w/ a rounded knob and had a flat knob w/grip cap variation. The BLR 81 Lightweight started the trend back to a straight stock and lately we have options of either the straight stock or pistol gripped models including a takedown version which began in 2007. The last 2 models had the nose of the hammer that pivoted adding a safety feature. The latest versions also offer stainless steel variations and laminated stocks. There have been some Commemorative Models and some special factory issues that we will cover later.

For now, lets go to the design and early production attempts with the BLR. Some sources give the credit of the BLR design to Karl R. Lewis (http://rareguncollection.com/), and some to Bruce Browning, the grandson of John Browning. I think it was probably a combination of both, including a few design and production engineers. For a complete review, I recommend you acquire and read an article published in the 1992 46th Annual Gun Digest Book, titled “The U.S.-Made Browning That Almost Was”, authored by William G. Fohrman.

The basics of my research and the related articles that I have found indicate that Browning wanted to get into the center fire lever action market and they found Mr. Lewis and were interested in his design capabilities. They also entered into a partnership with TRW (Thompson Ramo Woolridge) to finalize the design and produce the BLR sometime around 1966. The partnership with both produced some interesting designs and prototypes, but both failed to come to a happy ending and the partnerships concluded around 1968.

It has been speculated that around 250 TRW prototypes were completed and parts for more produced, but the relationship between Browning and TRW never resulted in a partnership which produced marketable rifles. This adventure between the two corporations can be a complete article by itself and I recommend the previously mentioned Gun Digest article if you are seriously considering collecting TRW produced BLR’s. There are fakes and lunch box produced “American Made” TRW versions out there and the buyer must be informed and beware.

From my research, Browning had FN (Fabrique Nationale of Belgium) start producing the BLR in 1970. For those who are not informed, Browning firearms have for the most part always been produced by FN. Supposedly, FN produced around 27,000 BLR’s and then production was transferred to Japan (Miroku) in 1971/72. I have a slight problem with this information, as I have uncovered Belgium marked BLR’s over the serial number of 30,000, which is supposedly the first Japanese made (serial numbered) BLR in .358 Winchester. As I stated previously, I can show you a 1973 Belgium marked BLR (Browning Model BLR 308 Win Ser.#390xxK73) and it has a serial number above the 30,000 range. You can be the Judge, but I think the “official time-lines and serial number ranges” are not correct.

Serial Numbers

A true example is: 1001K70= A 1970 BLR with a serial number of 1001

The serial number comes first, followed by the model designator, then the year. After that (1975), they get it right. This one mistake has caused some buyers/sellers/ collectors a little problem, but you can trust me - they (Browning) have it wrong on their website!

Just for your information, I have seen references that state that Browning started each year’s serial number sequence at the number 1000 for all models. I think that information is correct, and if so, the above BLR serial number would indicate that it was actually the first BLR produced in 1970.

Models

From my research, the main versions of the BLR's are:

A) The BLR, mfg. 1970 to 1981. (70-73 in Belgium) - had the extended magazine.

B) The BLR 81 Short Action, mfg. 1981-1995 (the flush magazine came in 1981)

C) The BLR-81 Long Action, mfg. 1991-1995.

(1991 saw the change in the new fluted bolt/receiver, a change in the lever/cam/pinion system and the folding hammer).

D) The New Model Lightning BLR, mfg. 1995-2002. Alloy receiver.

E) The BLR Lightweight 81, mfg. 2003- present.

F) The BLR Lightweight Takedown, mfg. 2007- present.

(Note - the difference between a Lightweight and a Lightweight 81 is the LW is a pistol gripped stock and the 81 is a straight gripped stock).

G) The BLR Lt Wt Stainless and Stainless Takedown, mfg. 2008 - present.

The DOB can be determined from the two numbers following the letter code (K) in 1975 and earlier models. The DOB can be determined on post 1975 models by the two letter code (ex. RT which is 1976) which are right before the last three numbers, which indicate the BLR type (LA, SA etc..)

1991 also saw the introduction of the firing pin inertia system.

All Browning BLR rifles produced between 1970 and 1980 are correctly referred to as Browning BLR’s. All Browning BLR Rifles produced between 1981 and 1994 are correctly referred to as Browning BLR Model 81’s and could be purchased in either short action, or long action after 1991. All BLR Rifles produced from 1995 through 2002 are correctly referred to as the Browning BLR Lightning Model (Alloy receiver). All Browning BLR models produced after 2003 are correctly referred to as Browning BLR Model 81 Lightweights or BLR Lightweights.

Keep in mind that the Browning BLR made changes on the receiver tops in 1995/96. The older receiver tops on pre-1996 BLR rifles were flat. The new BLR's made from 1995/96 on, have a semi-round top receiver. So make sure when your BLR was made. Older pre-1996 mounts from any other manufacturer can't be used on the newer BLR's either.

The primary difference between the original BLR and the '81 BLR is in the receiver shape and, consequently, the magazine. The original BLR (1970 - 1980) has a concave-shaped receiver - it is wider at both ends (flared out), where it attached to the stocks, than it is in the middle. Consequently the magazine is narrower and thus had to be made longer in order to hold an adequate number of shells. The 81 BLR's receiver is straight-sided, which allows a wider and thus shorter magazine which is, more or less flush with the bottom of the receiver. The Lightning has a flare in at the front of the receiver. The Model 81 Lightweight has flare in at the front and rear of the receiver. The Lightweight Takedown has a flare in at the rear of the receiver.

Having owned both, I have not developed a preference over the extended or flush magazine. Some people dislike the extended magazine, but I remain neutral on the issue. The only advantage is that the flush magazines are readily available, and they are the same and interchangeable between model changes since the Model 81’s became available.

Another difference I can mention is that original BLRs have a front sight hood, while '81 BLRs do not. I think they were removed/deleted around 1980.

Most BLR’s have been produced with a walnut stock, but lately some stainless models have a Dura Touch (Mossy Oak Brush) camo pattern stock, some have a regular walnut stock and some have a gray laminated stock. (pistol gripped or straight stocked). Some stainless models have a fluorescent front sight.

Early BLR models have the serial number on the bottom of the receiver, behind the magazine. Model 81’s and newer models have the serial number on the right side/rear of the receiver.

The White Gold Medallion has a black/white/black butt plate and a black over white pistol grip cap. It has a dark brown w/ white spacer fore end cap (Schnabel type). It is engraved w/ upgraded wood. It was made in 2009.

Lightning’s are marked on the right side of the barrel. “Lightning BLR Caliber 270 Win. Only”.

Model 81’ are marked on the right side of the barrel. “ Model 81 BLR Caliber 270 Win.”. ONLY also.

Lightweights are marked on the right side of the barrel.. “ BLT LT WT 81 Caliber .270 Win Only or BLR LT WT Caliber .270 Only” Stainless models have “Stainless Steel” marked on the right side of the barrel near the receiver.

Model 81’s had the exposed bolt head (two sets of four bolt lugs - opposing at 90 degrees and locked up in the top and side of the receiver) until the Long Action was introduced in 1991. In 1991, they got the new type of bolt (current one - 6 lug which locks up inside the barrel), changes to the lever (bolt assist) and a cam spring on the lever gear.

BLR’s and early Model 81’s had the steel receiver. Lightning’s (1995/96) started the alloy receiver.

Metal receiver models have pins for retaining the lever etc.. Alloy receiver models have screws.

Alloy receivers have steel inserts for the four scope base screws.

Some Lightning models have a pistol gripped stock w/ a squared grip cap w/ a black grip cap. Most have a rounded knob type of pistol gripped stock.

Early BLR’s had an oiled stock - at least by 1974 (Japanese models) they had a polyurethane type finished stock.

The gold trigger shows as early as 1978 - It was not on 1976 models and no 1977 have been found with it.

BLR Lever Action Rifle
The production of the BLR lever action rifle began in 1969. The Model 81 BLR lever action rifle was introduced in 1981 and included some minor changes, including a different magazine. The Lightning BLR was introduced in 1995 and is still in production.

To find your serial number, you will need to refer to your owner's manual. We have most owner's manuals online.

Date Historic Information Serial Number Info
1969-75 In 1969 Browning started using two digits for the date of manufacture:
K=BLR Lever Action Rifle
This was then followed by the serial number beginning with 1000.
Example: 69M1000 = A 1969 BAR High Power rifle with a serial number of 1000. K=BLR Lever Action Rifle
Made in Belgium from 1969 - 1972. Made in Japan from 1973 to present.
1976-1997 In 1975 Browning standardized its serial number identification which it followed until 1998. The Model 81 BLR was introduced in 1981. The Lightning BLR was introduced in 1995.
1. Serial Number
beginning with 01001
at the start of each year.
2. Date of Manufacture
is a two digit code Z=1
Y=2
X=3
W=4
V=5
T=6
R=7
P=8
N=9
M=0
3. BLR Type 127=BLR Lever Action
327=Model 81 BLR Long Action
227=Model 81 BLR Short Action
427=Lightning BLR

Serial
Number Example:
01001PY227
This would be an Model 81 BLR Short Action rifle,manufactured in 1982 with the serial number 01001.
1998 In 1998 Browning redid the standardization of its serial number identifications to work with its new data base program, Oracle.
1. Serial Number
beginning with 01001
at the start of each year.
2. Date of Manufacture
is a two digit code Z=1
Y=2

PCMR

Pacific Coast Militia Rangers

and the Winchester 94


Canada’s Pacific coast was sparsely populated back in the 1940's and after the invasion of Pearl Harbour there was a concern that the Japanese would take advantage of so much untamed wilderness to launch an invasion here. The citizens of British Columbia and the Yukon territory were convinced that they would be the best defense against an impending invasion due to their familiarity with the land. Thousands of volunteers, primarily hunters, trappers, fishermen, ranchers, miners, and natives came forward. This group became known as the Pacific Coast Militia Rangers (PCMR).

The force was formed on March 14, 1942. Originally it was called the Coast Defense Reserve Militia, but the name was soon changed to the PCMR.
Over 125 companies were formed across British Columbia and the Yukon Territory. At first they used their own weapons, then some old M-17, P14 Enfields, Ross and other surplus rifles.Though they were operating under government orders, these men were not fully integrated with the military, but by mid 1942, the government approved the purchase of around 2,500 Winchester '94's in .30 W.C.F (.30-.30) along with a small number of Marlins. These Canadian carbines were marked with a “C” and broad arrow on the left side of the receiver, at the side of the fore stock, and at the base of the butt stock. All known examples are within the 1,300,000 serial range and were manufactured in 1941 and 1942. They were also outfitted with special sling swivel bands and British web slings.

The Rangers uniform consisted of just a cap badge and armband, later some weatherproof tunics and other gear were issued. Some 15,000 men ranging from adolescents to grandfathers served in the PCMR.

The PCMR’s mission was relatively simple; to patrol British Columbia, protect it’s people from raids by Japanese infiltration groups, and to counter any attempt at a full-scale Japanese invasion of the Canadian West Coast. Many men who served in the PCMR were either too old or too young to fight in the Canadian Army, and some were even veterans of the First World War. Because of the geographical distance between PCMR detachments, many of the militiamen went officially untrained, and relied mostly on members with prior military experience or those who had attended Ranger training to teach them the basics of fighting and patrolling. Because of this, the PCMR began publishing a magazine called The Ranger, which featured articles revolving around combat, survival, and various other tasks militiamen were expected to understand.

"The Ranger," was first issued on September 1, 1942 and was filled with useful information that every well-rounded Ranger should know, such as: "Know where to shoot", "Edible plants of BC", "Dig or Die", and "What can you do with a tarp?". Age was not necessarily a consideration in the enlistment of these men.

It was observed that, "young lads from outlying areas were extremely valuable. Boys of 15 years and up proved to be good shots, could handle an axe, and were valuable as guides." Even those considered to be too old to join the war effort were able to contribute to the protection of BC.

Rangers filed reports on strange ships and aircraft and participated in training exercises with Canada’s Mobile Striking Force — a Cold War-era paratroop force designed to be flown quickly into remote northern areas. In one case, Rangers even helped the RCMP intercept bandits trying to flee the Yukon along the Alaska Highway.

First Nations people also made up a significant portion of the PCMR; in the January 1945 issue of The Ranger was written “Appropriately enough the man on this month’s cover is an Indian. No one is more fitted to take part in the defense of this province than the native son, for his heritage as a British Columbian runs far back into the beginning of time. We are glad to have his native skill and woodcraft working against the common enemy.” Given the racist attitudes towards First Nations peoples at the time, this was an incredibly progressive statement to make.

With the conclusion of WWII the PCMR was disbanded on September 30, 1945 and the volunteers were given the option to purchase their rifles from the government for $5. Those not purchased by the men were re-issued to other government departments and used until 1962 when they were destroyed due to maintenance costs. As a result, there are few surviving examples of these Canadian Winchester 94s today, and even fewer Marlins.

Although the PCMR never engaged the Japanese in battle, they performed vital work such as emergency rescue and firefighting. Perhaps most importantly, they instilled some degree of confidence in the local population that they were being protected without tying up large numbers of regular forces who were needed overseas. By providing a degree of military control and discipline they also kept any overenthusiastic locals from running around the woods shooting at shadows in the hysteria-prone atmosphere of the day.
