To determine the age of a Winchester 1300 based on the serial number L3493610, you can refer to Winchester's manufacturing records, which indicate that the letter "L" corresponds to the year of production, in this case, likely around the early 1990s. Specifically, the Winchester 1300 models were produced from 1981 until 2006, and serial numbers starting with "L" typically indicate production in 1992. Therefore, this shotgun would be approximately 31 years old as of 2023.
