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.
I will be glad to help you with your rifle. Based on the serial number the rifle was manufactured during 1894. What exactly is it that you want to know. If you will look at this "Sticky" from the top of the page and tell me how your rifle matches the various photos I can determine its originality. http://forums.GunBroker.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=606355
If you will send me some photos I can determine the rifle's potential value.

Bert; Question regaurding Winchester 1892 serial # 23701. Would appreciate any info you can provide.
Vet.
As Michael mentioned, it was manufactured in 1894 (January). A quick check of the records at Cody shows that it is a 38 WCF octagon barreled Sporting Rifle.
Michael has been studying, surveying, and collecting them for quite some time now, and can answer the detailed questions for you.
