Winchester Model 94 , 30-30..

[Raquettedacker]

I cant quite make out the 5th and 6th #'s in the serial #...  Was just wondering how to find out how old it is...   From what I can make out the #'s are 4464 (3?) (8?) 9...

[30-30]

              My 30-30's serial # is 5 million something & boufht it new in 1979 so I'd say it would be in the 60's.

Boy I guess I was way off, I punched in the 4 digits you had then jusyt picked 2 @ random. I thought they would have produced a million @ least 2 decades. Of course now that I think about it the majority would have been produced in the earlier yrs. I learn something new all the time. I redid the search, 1st I did 446401 then I did 446499 & I got 1908 for both.

Thanks Shaun...

Its # 4464389...   Found my glasses.....       Says it was made in 1977....   Its brand new and never been fired....     Time to get some 30-30 shells and see how she fires..

How did you get it bud?

[Raquettedacker]

It was my dads...   He gave it to me a few years ago when our area went to rifle...  I said I was going to buy one and he said take it, its brand new and never been used...

I guess I was wrong again, I didn't have enough # when I punched it in. I'm glad you got it figured out!

Jeff do you have a scope on yours or do you use open sites???       Do I just buy Winchester 30-30 rounds for it??   Are they expensive??

No scope, I use mine when I know I will be in real heavy brush, it's lite & easy to bring up fast & sight to target, a box of 20 rounds cost around $20 depending where you get them. I like to use Winchester brand but have used Rems. @ times. It is a real dependable rifle, after all it was 1 of the guns that won the west. Good luck w/it, it'll drop anything here in N.Y.

Great gun!!  Killed my first Buck with a '94 in 38-55.....
Most have switched to leverlution ammo....they are safer, and they are extremely accurate...
