Yep. Using that 1920 ledger page from Cody:

If you randomly lettered a rifle on that page, you'd get an accepted date somewhere between July 2nd, 1920 and August 31, 1920 - an 8 week range in which they produced 3,600 rifles total in reality.

The same rifle on that page would fall into a shipping date range of July 21, 1920 to November 8, 1922 - a 120 week range.


The 8 week accepted by date range isn't bad - unless you're trying to identify the end of year. Being off by potentially 3,000 rifles is a chunk.


But having ANY data is far better than having none. Murray's early years before 1917 are off by a LOT, and we've found even the American Rifleman dates can be improved. So the more we get, the better date ranges we get.
