at least the past 200 years
Your winchester model 1894 was one of the first 500 rifles made by winchester in 1911.They made 46,200 rifles that year.
These excellent rifles are made in Turkey.
88,000 from 1933 to 1937.
You will have to call Browning to find out.
should be 30-06 Springfield. not sure the year made. there were many of these rifles made.
model 190 and model 290 rifles were produced from 1965 to 1980, around 2,171,263 rifles .
With the serial number that you have supplied;your Winchester model 52B was made in the year 1939.It was one of 1,828 rifles made that year by Winchester.
usually the serial number has a code which identifies the year made.
You do not say who made your SKS.That helps and usually the russian made SKS rifles will have the year of production stamped on the receiver cover.I am not so sure on the Norinco made ones.
Winchester did not keep records of the production by year of the model 77,22cal rifles.I can say that the model 77 was made from 1955-1962.Winchester made 217,000 rifles during this time span.I would say that your rifles serial number puts your rifles production in the first year which is 1955.
Almost every country makes rifles
Smith and Wesson does not build rifles. The rifles they sell are made for them.
