I have a Winchester 94 and 92 Trapper and letters on both but neither letter says anything about barrel length or shipped as a Trapper model. Is this normal or are they fakes. Hunter

EDIT #1,
Cooey never manufactured lever action centerfire rifles, or single action centerfire revolvers. Most all that I have either seen, or were aware of. Were utility grade rimfire rifles, or shotguns of similar quality. Barn guns, would be there best description.
Are you actually referring to a standard saddle ring carbine as a "trapper"? The term was never used by Winchester and originated from the collecting community. If you will post or send me some photos and the serial number of the 1892 I can certainly help you.
Thanks

If they are 1892 - 1906?? vintage, and the letters from Cody don't mention barrel length, then they were originally 24" or 26" (standard) depending on model. Also, measure forearm length for each and post here.

The 94 is a 16" and the 92 is a 14" with a BATF letter. Both have short carbine forearms. Both of these guns came from Canada in the 50's but I know a company named Cooey in Ontario was making exact copies of Winchesters and single action Colts for years.

And what are the serial number ranges? Can they Cody letter?
I'm not saying that they MUST Cody letter, only asking if they are in the letterable range. For the question asked the 1st logical step is to see if they are in the letterable range.

These have both been cleared, and neither would "Cody Letter".
