Winchester Serial Number Lookup
Welcome to USCARBINECAL30M1.com! If you are like me, owning an M1 Carbine goes a lot deeper than just owning a firearm. It is about owning a piece of history that protected our freedoms and won a world war. Deemed the greatest single battle implement ever devised by man. (Patton), the M1 Carbine is something that will consume you in the collecting of military surplus weapons and ignites a. Search Catalogs Q&A Everything Google Search.

Ehunter,It might help if you would describe the rifle you actually have, but without that, a G34XXXX (note: a 6 digit number following the 'G') would have been manufactured in about 2000. A G34XXXXX (note: a 7 digit number following the 'G'), to the best of my knowledge was never manufactured.
The highest numbers I have ever seen are G304XXXX, and these would be the very latest numbers manufactured before the New Haven plant closed in 2006.I would add that there always seems to be a lot of confusion about the 'G' prefix. To cut to the chase, a serial number with the 'G' prefix, and a serial number without a prefix are plain and simple, different serial numbers.
You cannot use the charts for non-prefix numbers and expect a 'G' prefix number to correlate.Another reason for confusion, is that the 'G' serial numbers do a bit of jumping around. When Winchester began producing the Classics in 1990, they went back and started using lower 'G' prefix numbers, that had never been used, when they started the 'G' prefix in 1969, or whenever, on the push-feeds. Then they later jumped over the previously used 'G' numbers, to continue on with Classics that have 7 digits following the 'G'. This is all as clear as mud, I am sure!I also might add, if your rifle is not a Classic, all bets are off! I don't follow non-Classic serial numbers! But, I believe any late production rifles should fall into this regime.
I hope nobody minds if I piggyback onto this thread as well. I have 2 Classics:first one - regular Classic Sporter, 270 Win, serial # G3002XXX.other one - Classic Compact, 7mm-08, serial # G374XXX.I would much appreciate knowing production years for them. Bought new a few years ago but I have no idea if they were new or old stock. Thanks in advance.- 02/12/09 Re: Need to look up Serial number for Winchester m 70Joined: Aug 2007Posts: 1,036Campfire RegularCampfire RegularJoined: Aug 2007Posts: 1,036. I have a 7mm Rem Mag in Win. M70 Custom Super Grade, controlled round feed, SN G1123. According to my shooting book it was first shot on Dec.20th, 1992.
Based on this it was purchased just 2 or 3 days before since I always get them to the range ASAP.How much earlier than this it was built I can't say, but based on the SN it couldn't have been too much before.Maybe this info will help some of you.Jim- 05/28/09 Re: Need to look up Serial number for Winchester m 70Joined: Aug 2007Posts: 1,036Campfire RegularCampfire RegularJoined: Aug 2007Posts: 1,036. Further to my post of May 28, 2009 I stumbled over this thread again today and went back and looked in my loading book again. Found I had made an error.In Dec. 1992 I already had almost 1300 rounds through my Custom Super Grade. It follows that I must have purchased it in Dec., 1991. Don't know what I did with the records for the first 1300 rounds.
When making my original post I just looked at the date and not at the number of rounds fired.My 4 digit serial number is correct. Possibly it is so low because the rifle came through the Custom shop.Jim- 03/05/11 Re: Need to look up Serial number for Winchester m 70Joined: Mar 2011Posts: 2New MemberNew MemberJoined: Mar 2011Posts: 2.

Looking for any help in finding year of a Winchester Model 70 Classic Featherweight model G233xx was made that I just bought.
It also has a black packmyr decelerator pad and not the typical red. I have a 2006 model new haven Win Model 70 in 300 wsm that has the balck packmyr pad, but not sure when Winchester started putting these on model 70's. Any help greatly appreciated on dating the year made would be greatly appreciated.- 10/17/18 Re: Need to look up Serial number for Winchester m 70Joined: Feb 2007Posts: 6,148Campfire TrackerCampfire TrackerJoined: Feb 2007Posts: 6,148.

I hope this thread is still accurate and one of the historians here can give me a handthe other day i was in a hunting shop here in south Alabama browsing the selection and i noticed the owner was selling a bunch of guns from his collection. One of which was a beautiful model 70 featherweight, new haven build, with a stainless 24' barrel.he was asking 1000 dollars for it.
It has some really dark wood and the pink/red butt pad on it. The guy over the counter told me it was rather rare and valuable (hence the price) which sparked my interest, moreso the idea of being able to have this to hand down to my children someday really got the gears turning.however the money wasn't on hand at the timehowever! I just reenlisted in the army and got my first bonus in 13 years, so i ran back up there today and fortunately the owner of the shop was there. I told him id give him 100 dollars cash now and promise in writing to pay for it in full by the end of January if he'd so let me.thankfully he did! So im soon to be a new owner of one of the most beautiful winchesters i have ever seen!now ive tried to research (read this whole thread), searched gunbroker to no avail and a myriad of other sources.
From what i can tell, this particular firearm had either a larger solid black butt pad, or the red/pink one mine has. My question to ya'll is, when was it manufactured? Im quite the gun nut but i am new to the winchester world, and very egar to learn!the serial number is G3032563 again a model 70 featherweight.308 stainless barrel 24'if anyone could be of any help id greatly appreciate it!

Happy new year!!!If it's a USRAC classic, then it was manufactured, like JMR said earlier, around 2001-2006. After you get it, post it in the Winchester collectors forum here. I'm sure there are a lot of guys that would like to check out your rifle. Like the shop owner said, it is pretty rare.
24' featherweight, stainless and wood stock. Probably a very nice rifle. Redneck here could probably tell you more about the rifle. I believe he likes that style. New member and this is my first post!

Im really excited for it. Would you consider 1000 brand new in the box a good deal?Personally, I saw too many 7 digit examples (2003-2006) that turned me off quality wise, plus I really don't like the very dark walnut finish. But that doesn't mean yours isn't a good one. It does still have the best factory hunting trigger ever made, and if the function is fine and the looks suit you, enjoy it.the dark walnut is what drew me to it, having a liking towards super grades with dark wood as well, this one was just too special. Ill be sure to post it up here for everyone to see as soon as i lay my hands on it.
But first i have to sell the cdl sf in order to get my hands on this one!- 01/07/19 Re: Need to look up Serial number for Winchester m 70Joined: Dec 2018Posts: 245MemberMemberJoined: Dec 2018Posts: 245.
