Made 1925 to 1936, with only 50,145 made.What version do you have? There was a standard, carbine, sniper, and super grade.I don't have any info on the stainless barrels, but I know Bert dug up some. Next time I talk to him, I'll see what he has for you. Ok, I'll try you:) model 54 30-06 with a Stainless barrel sn:31584a I the past i was under the impression it was a 1929? But I have zero data how many model 54's came with a stainless barrel, let alone that year, and thank youMade early 1930, 3395 made that year.

It does the same with a loaded round, except for one thing.a loaded round doesn't quite clear your forehead!:o:D. The 73 ejects 'empty' cases up, back, and over your head with a bit of force. Obviously heavily used in a saddle scabbard, horse had cribbed half the buttstock off, you could still see the teeth marks on it!Cleaned it up, replaced the stock with an original, and was surprised to find the action locked up tight as new! Kick to shoot, no recoil.I learned a valuable lesson the hard way about 73's, while checking for function before I shot it. PR records yours.Is it a Carbine or Saddle Ring Carbine?My '73.44-40 SRC looked like it had been used for a grape stake, after hunting woolly mammoths! Thanks, GeologyjohnJohn, yours made 1900, 14,629 made that year. Trap, can I hit you up also? I have a Model 1873 carbine that reportedly came off a ranch Oregon that is brown and worn and looks like it is was used to hunt Wooly Mammoths during the last Ice Ages. But the resistance to acknowledge this info is still 's still printed alongside the old Madis info.Why the resistance to acceptance of the accurate information?Serious Winchester collectors have a substantial investment wrapped up in their collections. That is the actual 'Date of Manufacture'.Depending on production demands, some serialed receivers made late in the year, 'may have been' assembled and sold early in the next year.Since the Madis information was never questioned, until now, it was taken as gospel and reprinted almost everywhere you seek the info.The Blue Book of Gun Values has now been the first source to the public, to print the revised DOM's. Files.The Polishing room is when and where each receiver got it's serial number. Some unknown hero had the forethought to record the records on microfilm.Bert and others painstakingly transferred all the microfilm to jpeg.

Until recently!My friend Bert Hartman among others started digging around in the Cody Museum basement, and discovered boxes full of microfilm containing all the Polishing Room Records. He gets major kudos for that!Unfortunately, many of the records were destroyed or missing, so he simply made up the rest.The Winchester collector world accepted his word on all things Winchester as gospel. This is the answer in short, with the reason for the importance of correcting it.A man named George Madis compiled the Winchester DOM's after he salvaged the Winchester records from a dumpster.

70, 71, 72, 74, 75, 77, 88, 100, 190, 250, 270, 290Reposting this to this thread so it doesn't get lost:I've been asked more than once, why almost all the sources for Winchester manufacture dates, for all the various models of Winchesters, is flawed. Your 'Antique' may be a C&R, or visa versa!:eek:Post the model and serial number, use X's if you're worried about that stuff, but give me at least the first 3 digits, and I'll give you the DOM, and production numbers if I have them. Files.The dates in the Blue Book, and any you find online, are based on the Madis data, and are severely flawed. Larry Shennum and Bert Hartman just compiled these dates from the Winchester Polishing Room records, and miles of microfilm converted to jpg. I have the newly updated dates of manufacture, and production numbers for Winchesters.
