Win. 94 AE XTR

[exit31]

I have a Win. 94 AE XTR in 375 win. and it is very, very accurate with cast bullets.

Two questions:

1. What does the XTR stand for?

2. Isn't it kind of odd that a Win 94 would have a serial number starting with 1894?

Number 1: "XTR" stands for extra IIRC.

In answer to number 2: I purchased a VAR barrelled M1 Garand a few years ago from a recently returned from Bosnia infantry soldier when I was still in the military. He was scratching up funds to pay for his civilian high pressure welding certificate. The rifle was like-new in grease after FTR.
It's last three digits coincided then, with my airforce squadron number at CFB Cold Lake.

I bought a rifle from a local fellow last year. The serial # on the rifle matched my bank account number exactly.

Haha..what are the chances of numbers matching like that, eh? You two gotta transfer that luck over to the lottery now.

Now your rifle will refuse to fire when you're broke
