The dates of the Model 1894's are off pretty badly for the end of the 1800's and the early 1900's. New stuff has not been published yet, but you can get a rough idea by checking out the thread at http://www.winchestercollector.org/foru ... 14e8dafc56

The following are all verified 'received in warehouse' dates, as per factory letters:
