Hello, and thanks for the information. The serial number indicates that it was manufactured in January of 1928.
I assume that it has the standard style carbine butt plate, but which type of upper tang stamp does it have? It could be either a Type-5 or a Type-6. |

Hi Bert.
Model 94 #1491059 25-35 W.C.F. Not martial marked Flat Band standard sights recvr not drilled/tapped flat checked buttplate blank top tang, single screw straight cut serrated hammer have not checked date on bottom of barrel
I am interesting in knowing if the factory changed bluing solution or application methods pre-War, during or post War. I ask this because there seems to be nice blue retention on pre War band/magazine tubes while the flat band period seem to have more brown/plum flat bands/magazine tubes. Thanks for all your work and information here. Lee |

Hello Lee,
Serial number 1491059 was manufactured in the Spring of 1948. It should have a "48" marked barrel.
Winchester changed the bluing formula circa 1939. |

I went to see a 94 today at a pawn shop. The owner said it is a pre WW2, but after researching the serial number turns out to be 1942.
Serial number 1207204 Carbine Milled Band Type 6 tang stamp, two screws .32 Win Special No saddle ring Can't say about proof marks,
Question. Are tang marks not indicative of older models than 1942?

The owner is correct... serial number 1207204 is indeed a Pre-War manufactured gun... April 1939 to be exact. This is another case where Madis' serial number listing is out-to-lunch.
Thanks for posting the information .
Edit: In reviewing my data, that Carbine should have a Type-7 upper tang stamp (the one without the dashes), and it quite possibly has a "W" below the serial number... can you please confirm both for me? |

Hello again. I will check that out tomorrow if it is still there. Big question though. If I end up buying the gun, I would love to know where to confirm the data that says it is indeed a pre-war model? Upon resale (if ever) people will probably go to the blue book of gun values and the serial number will still say 1942! I would need some better source. Owner also claims the barrel has the manufacture date and it states 1939 on it (although it requires dissassembly and I did not make him do it).
Thanks again |

In the not so distant future, I will publish a new (corrected) Winchester serialization book. Hopefully, other sources (like the Blue Book) will correct the information they have falsely published at that time. In the mean time, you can always refer someone to this forum (or to me), and I will confirm the DOM. |

I went back today and checked it out. Yes, indeed, type 7 tang inscription (without the lines) and also a W underneath the serial number. |

It is an August 1920 vintage SRC. The tang sight was most likely added after the fact, but that does not hurt anything. It sounds like a good one . |

Thank you for posting the information on your mid-year 1959 vintage Model 94, and good luck in finding a replacement butt plate for it . |

Hello Kyle,
It is a standard Carbine, and it was manufactured late in the year 1953.

Bert, An unusual one Ser.# 457660, take down rifle, 30 W.C.F., nickel steel, 19" oct barrel,type 3 tang markings, crescent butt stock, deluxe wood, good bore and tight action, a short barrel but I think it was special ordered this way, no evidence of any changes except one tragic one. It was re blued some time ago as the hammer, trigger, and lever are also blue instead of case color. Keep up the good work. Kyle |

Bert, You may be correct about the 19" barrel. I did compare it to another take down and the two dove tails are the correct distance from the muzzle. It would have to been cut off more than 4" to remove the old dove tails. Anyway I did not pay big bucks for it because of the refinish. Either way it's a neat gun and I liked it. I'm still learning. Thanks for your input. Kyle |

The serial number tells me that it was made in late August of 1938.
The condition is extremely poor, and I very much doubt that it could ever be resurrected into a "safe" to fire gun again. It is simply a curio now. |

survey input .... mdl 94 s/n: 1595339 caliber marking: 30 W.C.F. butt plate: flat checkered steel tang marking: blank factory drilled for peep sight: no US martial or PCMR: no Proof steel marking: yes saddle ring: no barrel band: milled
Question: I have a model 12 made in 1940 (serial 824389) that has the "W" stamp below the serial number. Do you think it means the same thing as on the model 94 (factory refinish)? |

Your Model 94 is a 1949 (early part of the year) production carbine, and is completely standard for its vintage.
In regards to your question about the "W" on your 1940 vintage Model 12, Yes, the "W" means the same thing. I have seen the same "W" stamp on Model 12s, 97s, 64s, 65s, and 94s, and I am sure there are a few more models that might have it as well. |

Hi everybody My uncle left me his model 64 30wcf. I think its from the mid 1950's. Is there anything I can do about rust and minor pitting? How can I find out if is the deluxe? This rifle means a lot to me and I want to bring it back to it's former glory. Thanks for your help SN 1371217 before i forget on the barrel above the factory mark there is a little "post" with the word "marble" on it. What is this for? |

Hello,
The serial number on your Model 64 indicates that it is a 1946 vintage gun. If you can post (or send me) pictures of it, I can very quickly identify which variation it is, and also answer any other questions you may have about it. |

Hi Bert,
I have a Model 94 30 WCF carbine that has the nickle barrel and saddle ring. The serial number is #8998xx. The butt plate is the steel one. Would you tell me when this rifle was built?
Also, the rear site is not original. Do you know of a source that would have the correct site available? The stock is a dark color and it appears that someone tried an amateur job of refinishing. I'm not in the market to sell it, so the stock is not a big deal to me as far as ruining the resale value. I would like to get it back to the original as far as the sight goes though.
Thanks for any info you have.
Tom

Early in the month of May, 1920. The correct sight is the Carbine (ladder style). If you can not find one here on GunBroker, give these guys a call - http://www.tapaderaswinchesters.com/ |

The date of manufacture is easy... October 1936. You listed it as having a Type-7 upper tang stamp, but that is not possible (based on when it was manufactured). It should have the Type-6 marking (with the dashes preceeding and following the text on the second and third lines).
As for the value, I really need to see the gun (or good quality pictures of it). If possible, please start a new topic on the Experts forum, and post the pictures there. Or, you can send pictures to me directly at Win1885@msn.com

OK, I see what the issus is... you originally listed the serial number as "1117214" when in fact it is "1177214"... that 60,000 difference makes a big difference .
Serial 1177214 was manufactured in May of 1938, and it is correct with the Type-7 tang stamp.
It appears that there is no finish remaining on the receiver frame, but the rest of the gun looks very good. |

Bert,
My grandfather passed along this Model 94, .30 W.C.F. and I figured I would see what info I could find out about it.
1. 205357 2. .30 W.C.F. 3 Carbine Butt Plate 4. Based on the pictures I think it's a Type 5
Not sure about the rest except that there is no saddle ring. Thanks |

Something is not correct... serial number 205357 was manufactured very early in the year 1904, and as such, it should have a Type-1A tang stamp. It should also be a saddle ring carbine. Can you post a few pictures of it? |

Hello drl50,
Yes, it is an interesting project, and YES, I still very much need more data .
Based on the information that I have compiled thus far, this is what I can tell you about your Model 64;
(1) It was manufactured very late in the year 1948 (most likely in November). It will have a "48" date marked on the bottom of the barrel (under the forend stock).
(2) It is the 354th Model 64 I have surveyed thus far, and the 80th one that is a Deer Rifle.
(3) It is the 90th Model 64 in caliber 32 W.S. that I have surveyed (slightly more than 25% were made in this caliber).
If you (or anyone else) has additional questions or information they would like to contribute, please let me know. |
