284 Win was introduced by Winchester in 1963 so any serial number or LBC before 63 most likely isn't right. Being that the double diamond pressed checkering started sometime in 64, that's why a cut checkered 284 (that's right) is such a hard gun to find.

I swear Jed claimed to have had a 284 cut checkered F new in the box at one time. Wonder where that gun is now?

Can you even imagine if that thing turned up?

Maybe somebody up in the NE knows where it is?
