There is no other detail beyond this that we can provide. In general, only serial number ranges with an approximate year are provided in this document.Any information before the 1990s is always difficult to verify. Before the 1990s the Winchester Repeating Arms firearms brand transferred ownership several times.If your firearm is not listed, we probably do not have any additional information. Many of the Winchester brand firearms produced over the years are included, but not all.Very good rifle and it makes you wish you knew about them sooner.Please keep the following points in mind as you explore these pages: The recoil feels more like a 243 than a 308 so anyone could shoot this thing. The rifle looks good, shoots as good as a lot of bolt guns, and it ejects the empties to almost the same spot every time. I send in the old style firing pin and get the corrected one AND about a week later I get a check for $30 from Winchester to help offset installation costs in case I pay a gunsmith to put it in. I ask about the recall and she checks the serial number and says that one was not changed. So we call the phone number and a person picks up without any automated response. The last model 100 was made around 1973 and the serial number on this one puts it around 1969 so I didn't know if the recall was still being honored or not.
The other neat thing I liked about it was the steel tubed Sears scope from that period that looks like it was made by Weaver.ĭuring the cleaning I saw it had the old style firing pin that was recalled by Winchester. I took it apart, cleaned, and lubed it before taking it out to shoot. The previous owner said it had been a family member's and not been shot for years. Now I had heard of the 100s but never shot one before and the last 308 (7.62 NATO) autoloader I shot was a M-14 in the Marine Corps. We happened into a model 100 Winchester in 308 for a shotgun trade. Not a Mossberg but I hope you find this interesting.
