[crosscut]

Gentlemen,
I recently found, after a long search, a like new 1894C. It's in almost perfect condition. I paid $400 for the rifle and a new case. How do I find out what year it was made in? the SN is 92XXXXXX. I thought there was a listing here somewhere, but I can't find it. Can someone help me out?

Also, it has the cross-bolt safety. (The perfect solution to a non-existant problem!) I remember seeing, on this site I believe, where someone offered a replacement plug that had a saddle-ring built into it. Can someone point me in the right direction to get one of those? Many thanks,

LT

Hi and welcome from Bundaberg, Australia.

Starting in 1973, the year of manufacture can be determined by subtracting the first two digits of the serial number from 100: Example: SN 25xxxxxx would have been made in 1975 [100 - 25 = 75]. (100-92=2008 for yours) Prior to that there were letters in front of the serial numbers:

Date Prefix(s)
1946 C
1947 D
1948 E
1949 F
1950 G
1951 H
1952 J
1953 K
1954 L
1955 M
1956 N
1957 P
1958 R
1959 S
1960 T
1961 U
1962 V
1963 W
1964 Y, Z
1965 AA
1966 AB
1967 AC
1968 AD, 68
1969 69
1970 70
1971 71
1972 72

Golfbuddy, 1946 was a lower case "c". The upper case "C" was for the few 1945 guns that were made.

Details details! LOL

I copied those from Wikipedia so they are wrong too.....

I've seen that in Wikipedia. Wiki is good for generalizations, but take what's there with a grain of salt. When I went back to college, we were told that if we used it for a source on papers, we'd get an F.
