Trying to Date Rifle
Posted: Sun Mar 10, 2013 10:44 amMy deceased grandfather handed down a pump action Winchester 22 caliber rifle to my son and we're trying to identify year of manufacture.
]The markings we've been able to locate on the rifle are as follows:"Winchester (Trademark) .22 S,L, or L.R. - Model - 270" stamped/engraved on the left side of the barrel immediately in front of the rear sight, followed by a "B" encircled and stamped/engraved on the barrel. A separate small encircled /stamped/engraved P/W is located on the front left top side of the receiver .Serial Number: 467649 (located on bottom of receiver body just behind the wood pump action handle)
seeking to date the rifle, i.e. year it was made.
