Does anyone know the manufacture dates for a Winchester model 74 ?
My Dad has one that we used to hunt with 35 or 40 years ago and I was
wondering how old it was. Thanks, TCbob.

They were made between '39 to '55. Few were made during WWII, and records of exact production were lost for the years '49 onward. If your dad's rifle has a serial below 173526 it can be accurately dated to production year. Otherwise it has to be guessed at.

Thanks- His serial number is higher than that, so it must have been made
between '49 & '55. My dad said he bought it new at a local hardware store.
Since he was 18 in 1952 I'm guessing it was probably made between 1952 and 1955. Thanks for the info.
