in 1985 i bought for myself as a christmas present a very old winchester 22. it is a model 60 and fires shorts longs and long rifle. but on the barrel there is no serial # . is there a way that i can find out the age of the rifle? It is easily the most accurate rifle i have ever fired with a very light trigger pull. did winchester not always make serial #? where else might the # be? thanks for your help. willie

    I don't believe the Model 60 was ever serialized.
    They were only made for a short number of years starting in I believe 1932. Somewhere around 150,000-175,000 were produced if my memory is correct.

    There are several for sale on the auction side. 1930 or so.

    One of the few models Winchester didn't serial number. Made 1931-1934, with a total production of 165,754 made.

    thanks for your help, at leasti know it is an oldie. it is a single shot ,bolt action that is still even now very accurate and a pleasure to shoot. for 60.00$ in the 80es i got quite a bargain. again thanks for the replys. The people on this board are so well informed I was offered 50 bucks so i now know what to tell the clerk at the local gun store.
