What do AE and XTR mean on a Winchester Model 94 serial 5358309?

Answer 1

XTR as explained to me by a gun dealer was a designation used on several Winchester models in the later 1900's to indicate deluxe finishing features such as checkered grips on walnot and high gloss bluing. Hope someone else can answer what AE means.

Answer 2

AE is angle eject. The early 94s eject the fire casing straight up, not so good for scope use. The angle eject receiver is an 80' Winchester adaptation to allow scope mounting.
