    Production Year for Winchester 94?

    I read somewhere on the web that one listing for year of production by serial # is messed up - wrong data.

    Anyone have a reliable source? My Winchester 94 carries the #1323XXX. Year = ?

    Thanks.

    Per this around 1945.
    2nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. - "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

    "Before you argue with someone, ask yourself, is that person even mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of different perspectives? Because if not, there’s absolutely no point."

    Winchester collectors website offers a free instant search feature that uses the factory records. About as good as it gets.

    Production Year for Winchester 94?

    The barrel has a date on the underside of the chamber- but that might not be the rifle’s “built” date.
    But close if not…..

    .

    You have a 2nd Model, made during the transition period before/during/after World War II...

    ( Yes, Virginia - Winchester made some during WWII )
