Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire M70 Serial Number Help

I've got SN G17624xx. Trying to find mfg. date.
Is there a source for serial numbers for M70s post 1964 on the internet somewhere?

Thanks guys,
Fenton

Roger Rule and his landmark publication "The Rifleman's Rifle".

Also.

Just call winchester with S.N. That's what I did.

I did call Winchester. Got a guy in service. Took the guy 8 minutes to find a date for one rifle, could not find the date for this one G1762463.
And I did find the records from 1935 - 1992 that "rte" provided, but nothing else.

If I had Roger Rule's book, maybe serial numbers are in there? But I don't have his book. His website provided no serial number info that I could find.

Still, I'd think there must be SN info somewhere?

Fenton (OP)

I see my serial number is included on the info “rte” provided, making it a 1985 mfg. date.
Still wish I could find access to serial numbers after 1992.
Thanks…

Have you tried the Winchester Collectors subforum?

I thought there were some Gxxxxx (5 digit) serial numbers but don’t see any on the chart above

No I have not, but I will.
Thanks for the tip.
