Can you use the serial number on an old Winchester rifle to find out the manufacture date?
[Edit]

Answer

Yes. If you have the lists in something like the Blue Book of Gun Values. It can be found at most any book store, and ordered online.

You can also try a Web site such as Savage Arms or oldguns.net.

Or, you may try contacting Browning on their 800 number with the serial number of your Winchester. (Winchester firearms is now owned by Browning.) They can tell you when it was made.

Answer

The "Winchester Manufacture Dates" link on the right of this page will probably tell you everything you need to know about the date of your gun. Good Luck!
