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.

Winchester collectors website offers a free instant search feature that uses the factory records. About as good as it gets.
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 )
Now I lay me down to sleep
A gun beside me is what I keep
If I awake, and you're inside
The coroner's van is your next ride
