How to age a Model 94 Winchester

[suckersrus]

Is there a way to guessimate the date of my 94 Winchester? Pre '64 etc.
It says Winchester on it.
It does not have a safety.
It is not angle eject.
What else do I look for?

Hi there. The '99 Standard Catalog of Firearms lists the 'post-64' Model 94 change beginning with serial number 2,586,000.
I'll check back later, or tomorrow, if you want the exact year - the list is in the book. Angled ejection became standard in 1982. Best, John

You might want to post this question in another TFL forum: Harley Nolden's Institute for Firearms Research. I suspect you will receive a very thorough reply.
