It,s unfortunate that you cannot.Winchester choose to not record the serial numbers of any of the 200 class of rifles they made.This would include yours and the models 250,270,255 and 275.The Model 290 Winchester rifle was made from 1965-1976.
The model number should be stamped into the barrel near the Winchester name. It will say "model" or "model of"
Mossberg,Browning and Winchester are 3 possibles- but contact me with the MODEL number from the rifle, and we can tell.
To find the year that any Winchester gun was made, you just need to know which model it is and what the serial number is (the model number and serial number are stamped on the gun itself). . Then go to this website and it will tell you when it was made: http://oldguns.net/sn_php/winmods.htm
according to www.savage99.com/winchester1894dates.htm the rifle was made after 1982
With the serial number that you have provided,your Winchester model 1890 rifle was made between 1932-1941.It could have a very decent value depending on the amount of finish remaining on your firearm.I would have it appraised by a member of the Winchester collectors assoc.
Check the Web site for Winchester Arms.
winchester i have no clue on the date
I have a marlin Safety with a ser# 40098. I believe it is a model 1894, do not know the cal. Can you tell me anything?With the serial number 119,755.Your Marlin safety model 1894 rifle was made in the year 1895.The serial number 40098 indicates that this Marlin rifle was made in the year 1890.
Buy the serial number.If your Winchester model 70 rifle has a serial number lower than 581,470,then it was made prior to the manufacturing changes in 1964.
As you probably know the Winchester model 1904 never were supplied with a serial number.This was not required of gun manufacture,s until the gun control act of 1968.The Winchester model 1904,was produced from 1904 until the year 1931.There were 305,984 made during that time span.
By the serial number. Bert H.
That hard to say without a description on the rifles overall condition,and what year it was produced.The serial number will tell what year your rifle was made.As a general rule,a plain Winchester model 1894 rifle made between 1894-1963 will bring more than a rifle made from 1964-2007.If you are willing to include the age of your rifle and any special features,along with the caliber and overall condition i would be able to help you arrive at a reasonable value.
