FWIW, according to Rule: The G prefix "was implemented in compliance with new Federal regulations requiring a letter-coded serial number as an expedient means to manufacturer identification".
But, while it is "the bible" on the Model 70, Rule's book is not without error. As an example he says the G prefiix occurred in 1971..
And as winchester70 says, it doesn't really matter at this point....you seem to be the only one all worked up about it.

Those are exactly what I was inquiring about - the approximate numbers by year. Would you mind sharing the range you use by year for 92 - 2002 production, understanding the caveat of last months/first months? Really appreciate it! 1992, G10000 - G40000 1993, G40000 - G75000 1994, G75000 - G120000 1995, G120000 - G155000 1996, G155000 - G200000 1997, G200000 - G250000 1998, G250000 - G290000 1999, G290000 - G320000 2000, G320000 - G345000 2001, G345000 - G365000 2002, G365000 - I think G382000 is the highest I've seen. I believe G1 - G10000 were set aside in 1990 for custom shop only.

This is my understanding as well. I have a 4 digit Custom Shop Extreme Weather that was late New Haven production.

Just saw thread....sorry am older aluttttt,,,, This is an old thread. If it were a classic it was made in 1994 (serial # G114,xxx). Is it a classic or is it a pushfeed rifle? The serial # you indicate says it is a classic, but if it is 114xxxx, then it is a pushfeed made in 1973.

And just so we don’t confuse the poster, that 1973 serial number would also be preceded by a “G”.

I didn't include the G, as I thought that was a known: Already given by bobbill

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

Would certainly explain the “no mag fl0or plate.” I think bobbill also bought wabi’s old keyboard.
