Well, are we a little edgy?? I meant did anyone have an educated guess as to the production numbers. I would appreciate not being snapped at for asking a civil question.
Whoa.....come on guys calm down lets all take a deep breath!!! Bedrock look in our reference library you might can find something there if not try doing a google search and see if you can name up with anything!!!!Hope you can find what you are looking for Bedrock and let us know if you turn up anything!!!!
I've been looking for this info also, but alas, I haven't found anything. Wonder why Glenfield's have production numbers in Brophy's book, but not for others? I'm sure the Marlin factory has production figures, but who now to ask? I at least know of a few Westernfield's on this board----that's a start.

Bedrock, good luck rooting around for info on the Westernfield. I am sure there must be some info on the net. I don't know if it will include the number produced. More importantly shoot that bad boy and enjoy owning it.
Bedrock, indeed. Look in our reference library and see if there is anything you can find, but I do recall that Marlin did not keep any records of how many rifles were manufactured for certain stores. Goodluck in your search.
Swany: I am not sure if all 740A's are the same configuration as mine. Mine is a 30-30 made in 1967. It has a full length magazine, carbine-style front sight, oiled walnut stocks, a relatively slim forend with a forend cap, sling swivels, and a red recoil pad. The fit and finish are excellent. The walnut is not fancy, but is a good grade.
oscar: Nice find. All the ones I have been able to examine have been finished very nicely. There is nothing cheapened about them at all. A friend has one made in 1977, and it has the fanciest wood I have seen on any standard 336 or store brand. Enjoy yours in good health.

Was pulling the 22 I am going to swap it for from the safe, and in the process, moved the 35 Rem around. I guarantee that the 740 has a nicer set of wood on it than the 336! Really buying it for a cheap lever plinker and to play with cast bullets in it! Would love to cast and dump them out to 200 (+?) yards. I love the kentucky elevation process! Huge upside is that I can get factory ammo CHEAP, and get the brass, AND dump a deer or hog, etc, any day.
