Hello Guys, I finally picked up a little Winchester .44 Magnum "Trapper", something I've been looking for a while now ! It's unfired & as new, but the original owner's wife threw away the box & all the paperwork. ( I think ALL wife's would do that if were allowed to. ) As we all know, these late production Winchester's are somewhat difficult to document, so perhaps someone here may be able to assist me in determining it's date of manufacture ? ( SPEC.'S: Model 94, "TRAPPER", .44 MAGNUM, 16" Bbl., w/ Saddle Ring & Cross Bolt Safety, Serial # 61734XX ) From what little I've been able to learn, it appears to be a post-2000 piece, but prior to 2003 ? That does narrow it a bit, but I'd like to try for an exact year of mfg., if at all possible. Is there a particular text out there that covers these later M-94's ? I'll be very appreciative for ANYTHING I may be able to learn about this M-94 Trapper ! THANK YOU

Best, dpast32
