How old is Winchester model 90-22 long rifle serial number 761393?

Answer 1

It would have been made sometime, but not much, after 1940 (If that Serial # is correct) That's a pretty rare item, there's not many around any more.

**It may have a two digit number stamped on the receiver block underneath where the magazine tube enters the receiver. For example, my Model 90 Long Rifle, s.n., 782xxx has a "38" that may be the year of assembly. Serial numbers after 1932 were selected randomly and mixed in with the successor model 62. The serials aren't necessarily related to year of assembly or manufacture. Another interpretation of this two digit number sometimes found on the receiver is for inspection purposes. Each rifle was hand built by different employees and the receiver stamps were not always used in any uniformity.

The long rifle caliber is the hardest to find and rarest in the model 1890/90 line of guns. One current reference assigns a 50% premium for long rifle because of the rarity.
