I inherited a model 70 in 30-06 from my dad and would like to determine year of manufacture. Unfortunately the barrel is shot-out, and needs replacement. But before I proceed, I would like to Identify the year of manufacture?
On the barrel is the following markings: Winchester proof steel. Made in New Haven Conn. US of America. Winchester Trade Mark. Model-70-30Gov'T'06-. No s/n is found on barrel except the numbers: 1906 and 49- on the underside near to the thread. s/n on the action is 138281.
Can someone help?

I also recenly saw another Winchester Model 70, stamped: Winchester proof steel. Made in New Haven Conn. US of America. Winchester Trade Mark. Winchester Model-70-30-06 SPFTD. s/n on action is 395 336. Except for manufacturing year, why the difference in the barrel stamping when it come to caliber?
 
1950 Manufacture. Manufacturers of most everything change little things in almost everything. Look at Ford F-Series and the variety of makings that Ford has used over the years. Don't consider the style of body or colors; just the markings.
Your second s/n dates to 1957.
