I believe that the last pre 64 model 94 serial number was somewhere around 2,700,000. I have one made in 1972 with a serial number of around 3,700,000. If the numbers were assigned sequentially, and I believe that they are, they made around 1,000,000 of them in the first 8 years after they "cheapened" the design. It doesn't look like the changes hurt sales any. The post 64 guns that I have seen, while not up to the quality level of the pre 64 guns, were not bad guns. I have owned a couple from the 70's, and one from the 80's, and all were decent guns. I wonder how many of us would have been willing to pay the higher price had Winchester not elected to change their production methods?
