Winchester Model-95

Where is the serial number on a Win M-95? There is not a number of any kind on the action of my M-95, but there is a number followed by "sn" on the underside of the barrel, immediately in front of the receiver. Was the serial number put on the barrel rather than on the action?

If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!
Look at picture 23 in this auction - http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=186977990
If you actually use 30-03 brass, you can not use 30-06 reloading dies. The 30-03 case neck is slightly longer than the 30-06 case neck.
It would be easier to simply load 30-06 cases using the 220-grain bullet designed for the the 30-40 Krag and 30-03. All you need to do is seat the bullet out just a bit further than normal, and to an OAL of 3.34"

Burt, are you sure? I think just the opposite is true. For instance 38/357 but not 357/38. It is also possible to reload cases that are over length I.E. need trimmed in nearly any die as long as bullet seating depth is adjusted for the longer case. Now, I realise that a case will eventually become too long to chamber but that is a different problem. I respect your wisdom. Eddie
I have in front of me an original WRACO 30-03 cartridge, and a U 42 (WW II military) 30-06 cartridge. The case length of the 30-03 is 2.560" and the 30-06 is 2.490". The shoulder height is identical on the two cartridges (see the pictures below)
So YES, I am absolutely positive that a 30-06 case can be used in a 30-03 chamber.
