Further to my post of May 28, 2009 I stumbled over this thread again today and went back and looked in my loading book again. Found I had made an error.
In Dec. 1992 I already had almost 1300 rounds through my Custom Super Grade. It follows that I must have purchased it in Dec., 1991. Don't know what I did with the records for the first 1300 rounds. When making my original post I just looked at the date and not at the number of rounds fired.
My 4 digit serial number is correct. Possibly it is so low because the rifle came through the Custom shop.

1982 Any help with Model 70 Serial # G160003?
Thanks,
twofish Thanks baltz. I have been unable to figure it out. When I first started looking I read that the G prefix numbers started around 1970 but the numbers were much higher that mine. I read somwhere else that that at some point Winchester dropped back and began to use the lower, 5 and 6 digit numbers with the G prefix. Anyway, could you tell me where you located the info. or determined the date? It was driving me nuts. Thanks, twofish

ehunter, It might help if you would describe the rifle you actually have, but without that, a G34XXXX (note: a 6 digit number following the "G") would have been manufactured in about 2000. A G34XXXXX (note: a 7 digit number following the "G"), to the best of my knowledge was never manufactured. The highest numbers I have ever seen are G304XXXX, and these would be the very latest numbers manufactured before the New Haven plant closed in 2006. I would add that there always seems to be a lot of confusion about the "G" prefix. To cut to the chase, a serial number with the "G" prefix, and a serial number without a prefix are plain and simple, different serial numbers. Period. You cannot use the charts for non-prefix numbers and expect a "G" prefix number to correlate. Another reason for confusion, is that the "G" serial numbers do a bit of jumping around. When Winchester began producing the Classics in 1990, they went back and started using lower "G" prefix numbers, that had never been used, when they started the "G" prefix in 1969, or whenever, on the push-feeds. Then they later jumped over the previously used "G" numbers, to continue on with Classics that have 7 digits following the "G". This is all as clear as mud, I am sure! I also might add, if your rifle is not a Classic, all bets are off! I don't follow non-Classic serial numbers! But, I believe any late production rifles should fall into this regime. Great info. mudstud...thanks! twofish

Bluebook of gun values has the serial # break down. Not complete but it covers a lot.
