If I provide a serial number, can someone tell me if this gun is a pre-1964 or post-1964 gun?

nmckenzie,

Thanks for the Winchester site. Actually, it is a Model 94, top eject, not an older 1894.

Another easy way to ID pre-64 vs post-64 is to check out some of the internal parts. On the post-64s the cartridge lifter will be stamped steel instead of a machined piece.
Somewhere between 1982 when the Angle-Eject version was introduced and 1994, they changed the internals again back from the stamped lifter to a machined piece.

Again, thanks.

I went to the site and found the gun to be mfg in 1967.

All Model 94 serial numbers 2700000 or greater are post-1963.
