Upadated answer: Winchester actually manufactured 53,738 Model 94s in the year 1941. Winchester produced 48,883 model 1894 rifles in 1941.
You have too many digits in the serial number... Winchester did not make 19-million+ Model 94s.
value of Winchester 94Your Winchester was made in 1952. There was 90200 94s made that year. Value depends on several things such as condition, options, and caliber. Without knowing what they are it is hard to put a value on your rifle.
1953, and in addition to the year of manufacture, it tells you that 2000992 other Model 94s wer made prior to it.
No, there are some where the first digit looks like an 'L' but it is a '1'.
Updated Answer: 2,600,011AnswerNot sure of the total number but you can check serial numbers up to 5,103,249...which was made after 1982.
Your Winchester model 74 was made by Winchester in the year 1949,with the serial number that you provided.
That rifle was made in 1953. Here is a link to find any other DOM for '94s. http://www.savage99.com/winchester1894_dates.htm
Yes, it can. The Winchester Model 1894/94s manufactured from 1895 through 2006 can all safely handle modern manufactured 30-30 ammo.
With the first serial number provided 3,602,xxx.this Winchester model 1894 rifle was made in the year 1972.with the second serial number of 6,310,xxx I can only say that my last recorded serial number of 6,109,238 was made in the year 1994.So we can say that your rifle was made after 1994 and some where close to the year 2000.
Winchester did not make a commemorative "Michigan law enforcement" Model 94. What you have is a special edition gun that was made by Winchester, but embellished by someon else. This was a very common practice with the Model 94. Cheverolet and Dodge, and Coca Cola did the same thing in the early 1980s. Special edition Winchester Model 94s essentially have the same value as a "plain Jane" Modle 94 of the same manufacture era.
that was in 1860.
