No one has answered your question because I'm sure they are as confused asI am. After looking in two references, I could find no serial number-year made tables for Winchester Model 1300s. All I found was that the serial numbers for the Model 1300 did start out with the alpha characters LX but that the serial numbers are all higher that 0876. The lowest number listed is 739617. I suggest you contact Winchester and ask them. The address is:
Winchester U.S. Repeating Arms

275 Winchester Avenue
Morgan, Utah 84959-9333

Have the shotgun in hand when you call (for any additional info they might want) and they can tell you in about 5 minutes. I've had them check several shotguns and rifles before and they were very nice and fast.

The Model 1906 was introduced as an economical version of the Model 1890, and came with a 20' round barrel. This pump or slide action rifle was produced between 1906 and until 1932, and was the second in a progression of Winchester Pump action rifles that that evolved in this.

Winchester, by far, is the most famous name in firearms. The model 1873 is commonly known as The Gun that Won the West. Owning any firearm, however, is owning a piece history. Whether it be the famous Winchester Repeating Rifle, the Model 70 bolt action hunting rifle or any other make of firearm, owning a firearm is owning a piece of history. Part of it is due to the stories behind these weapons and because a well-made firearm can last centuries. Discovering the history of your Winchester can be an easy, straightforward process that will enhance the enjoyment of ownership.

  1. Identify the firearm. You should be able to identify the make, caliber and type of firearm. Most often, the information you need will be found in any instruction manual you have for the weapon. It will also be stamped on the right side or left side of the barrel, usually just ahead of the chamber.

  2. Environmental possibilism probabilism and determinism pdf. Write down the serial number. Frostwire reviews 2015. It is located in front of the chamber and often also stamped on other major parts that can be discovered upon field stripping your firearm. Sometimes old or refurbished firearms will have different serial numbers on different parts. An older weapon with matching serial numbers throughout will be more valuable than firearm rebuilt with parts from different firearms.

  3. Do an online serial number search. You can find the year a Winchester rifle was made by doing a database search free on the Internet. The website oldguns.net has a handy database for Winchester arms including lever-action rifles such as Model 1873, slide-action models such as the Model 61, bolt action rifles such as the Model 70, semi-automatics and shotguns. Simply click on the model number of your firearm and enter the serial number.

  4. Do a Records Check. The Cody Firearm Museum, part of the non-profit Buffalo Bill Historical Center, can provide you with a detailed record of your Winchester firearm for fees ranging from $35 to $250 as of July 2010. With a serial-number search they may be able to tell owners such things as shipping dates, warehouse shipped from, trigger and stock information as well as other features of the firearm.

Warning

  • Not all records are complete at the Cody Firearms Museum. Somer records have been lost over time.
  • If possible, I'd like to get in on this. One of my Winchesters is a Classic Sporter,.270 w/Boss. It has a strange Serial Number according to the others listed on this thread: G100XX.
  • It's very interesting that Winchester Serialization indicates that the first Winchester 50 was serial 1000. The first Winchester 59 was serial 1000. No Serial records shown after the model 59. I think any serial number below 1000 would be a unique find. Looks like Ron from SA has a unique one with the Italian engraving.

THE HISTORY OF WINCHESTER HISTORIC SERIAL NUMBER RECORDS.
There are many 'legends' about why the historic serial number records for Winchester rifles and shotguns are not complete or why they are not always verifiable. A few reasons cited are:

  1. A fire at the factory
  2. Inadvertent destruction (during office cleaning)
  3. Records simply lost in filing
  4. Records misplaced between ownership transitions
  5. Documents borrowed but not returned

  • Many of the Winchester brand firearms produced over the years are included, but not all. If your firearm is not listed, we probably do not have any additional information.
  • Before the 1990s the Winchester Repeating Arms firearms brand transferred ownership several times. Any information before the 1990s is always difficult to verify.
  • In general, only serial number ranges with an approximate year are provided in this document. There is no other detail beyond this that we can provide.
  • Since this information was provided through old documents (both official and otherwise), no representation is made that all serial number and year combinations are totally accurate.
  • In some exceptional cases, a more detailed, accurate determination can be made by calling the Winchester Repeating Arms Historian at the Morgan, Utah office. 800-333-3288. Ask for the Winchester Repeating Arms Historian.
  • For any other questions: 800.333.3288 or 801.876.2711. For Parts and Service call: 800.322.4626
  • For questions related to Ammunition don't call us. Contact Winchester Ammunition directly.
  • No attempt has been made to determine the value of any guns listed.
