Am interested in buying a Winchester Model 94 30-30 saddlering carbine from a fellow here locally. Somebody was telling me today that I can tell the year the gun was made by the serial number. Was told that there are several web sites that I can verify the manufacture date. Have searched several websites and googled a bunch more but can't find out to tell the age of the rifle.

Can somebody steer me to the site??? Supposedly the 30-30 was manufactured in 1964.

Thanks guys,

Thanks Bear,

That's it and found it, it's a 1964 model 94 "antique finish" 30-30. Guess I'm going to have $300.00 less to spend on Christmas this year. I'm buying for myself this year. LoL!!

Winchester made all of the changes in 1964. The ones most sought after are the "PRE 64". I just picked up a 1976 model for $130.00 and it is in very good condition. More info at www.leverguns.com

Agree 100% on pre '64 models. BUT this is a great gun, 99% of the blueing and the wood is great. Don't feel bad about going $300.00 for this one. Am still in the market for another 30-30 and am going to check out the link you included.
