Trying to determine the date of manufacture for my WIN 70 FWT Classic 280. G171XXX. Really Nice hunk of wood on this one. Red recoil pad. USRA

If it is a 70 Classic, it could not have been made in 1983. They did not start making them until 1992. The "Classic" denotes the Pre-64' style action in use.

It's a classic CRF. My best guess is 1994 but I can't find any data to back that up?
