Winchester DOB

[Steve H]

I have looked and cannot find and internet source for the DOB of a Winchester 101 Pigeon Grade. Does anybody here know of a web site that has this info? I thought Proofhouse would but I struckout there.

Call Winchesters customer service and give them the serial number.
I did this a while back to find the date of build on my Winchester 1200 Defender.
Took the guy less than a minute to inform me 1978 was the year.

Just got off the phone with Winchester................records are not available. All they can do is guess on guns that came from the "old" Winchester plant. They say that with the poor record keeping at the old facility and the fire at that facility many records were lost.
