Winchester TakeDown Numbers

Do the numbers on a Winchester 94 TakeDown's lower tang and bolt match a part of the rifle's serial number?

Or do they match a number somewhere on the barrel?

Ok, first you didn't say if this is a antique Winchester or a modern one. If its an antique then no, the numbers are just assembly numbers and or inspectors marks. Very seldom do you find assembly numbers that match on a 94 unless its pretty darn special; ie.. engraved, 3x wood w/modifications to the stock (diffrent length, drop in comb etc).

Old rifle, but not extra extra special.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Colt. Little unknowns like that can be haunting. No ghosts now.

Figured someone smarter than me would respond, but I just checked my 1903 vintage 94 and all I find is the serial number on the bottom of the receiver.

Thanks for the extra info Colt.
