According to your Winchester 1894 thread http://forums.GunBroker.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=245213, the last Model 1894 made in that year was serial #1674.
Ironically, it's for sale on the auction side: http://www.GunBroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=338175100
I just thought you might be interested in seeing it.

Thanks [:)]
instead of relining it. Machined down a Marlin barrel, dovetailed it,
etc. It has a serial # 190997. Believe it had a oct. barrel before.
A fairly beat gun but useable. Was it a 1890? Also have a '06 Winc.
# 726201 in good shooting condition which I use continually. Are any
barrels (original) left for the older one, even in poor condition?
Would like to restore the old one back near original even with relining.
Two questions:
I've never owned or used a external adjustment scope like this, anything I need to know about adjustments, maintenance, etc?
What is the working chamber pressure for this rifle?
( Still waiting on those pet loads [:)] )

Bert,
Could you please give me the manufacture dates on these Winchesters.
Thank you,
Robert Reeves
What is involved with that.[?] I am asking because i have one that i think could be 7th calvary.
Local dealer has one that i would say is in 60%+ condition. No rust or pitting, But a lot of blue wear around the reciever. Serial dates it 1955.
He wants around 500 for it. Is this a good deal.
He is like talking to a live Winchester encyclopedia. I learned more in the brief time we had together about 1885's than I have in my entire life. What a fine gentleman, and so willing to share his hard earned knowledge with others.
My hat is off to him and the other experts who contribute to this terrific site. I learn something every time I log on to it.
Keep up the great work!!!

Sorry I couldn't get over to your table at the Gun Show due to a last hour flurry of business.
Looking forward to getting a copy of your Winchester book with great anticipation.

12 guage worth?
bert im guessing you are awinchester man.
Whoever it was, is mistaken. My primary focus lies with the pre-64 Winchesters... if you had inquired about an old Winchester, it would have been an entirely different story.

I am sorry, Old Fool told me that you did that.
Hey Bert...Would Cody have records on the series carbines used at the LBH? Perhaps that is what Oldfool meant?
The Cody Firearms Museum only has records for the early Winchester, Marlin, and L.C. Smith firearms. The Springfield Research Service has records for the early Trapdoors - http://armscollectors.com/srs/lookup_trapdoor.php

No need to apologize... I simply do not know very much about the Springfield Trapdoors (other than they were the first gun to chamber the venerable 45-70 Governement cartridge).
