[QUOTE="Tommytrees, post: 2522697, member: 114552"] Not intentional but to further muddy the water my date of manufacture books say that G was placed in front of serial # after 1968 and that serial #'s started in 1969 with G925909. Also states that serial # 69887 would have been manufactured in 1947. Yes it is confusing. This kind of poor record keeping or mixing parts or whatever (?) is not uncommon. Many Winchester models were not serialized until the 1960's. Nonetheless those firearms are worthy and I hope you enjoy using yours for years to come. Tommy [/QUOTE]
