To the maximum extent possible, the dates of manufacture shown were obtained from the original Winchester Factory Polishing Room serialization records; otherwise estimates were made using multiple sources of information (e.g. George Madis, Ned Schwing, etc.), in which case the data was extrapolated to the best of our ability. This information is no substitute for obtaining a Winchester Factory Letter from the Cody Firearms Museum (available for certain models and serial ranges) which in addition to the Serial Number Application Date, normally provide the original Received In Warehouse Date and Date Shipped from Winchester factory. For purposes of determining if your gun is legally considered an “antique” (pre-1899 DOM), the BATF has told us they use the DOM dates published by the manufacture (Winchester). Those dates coincide with the Madis dates and can be viewed on Winchester’s site at:Winchesterguns.com
If you would like to obtain factory research on your Winchester, we urge you to join WACA and the Cody Firearms Museum. WACA members who are also CFM Members will receive 15 additional record searches on top of the regular quantity of searches included in the standard CFM membership package, regardless of membership level.

Connecticut Carry has added a new feature to ctcarry.com: the Connecticut State Weapons Registry Database. This database is the same database that is used to track our firearms transfers pre-2013 Gun Ban. It is an extract taken at the time of the gun ban.
This page is used to search for a stolen gun as entered by a law enforcement agency within the State of Florida. The criteria required for the search is a Serial Number. The system will allow a maximum of 20 characters to be entered for the Serial Number. SERIAL NUMBERS OFTEN ALLOW YOU TO DETERMINE YEAR OF MANUFACTURE. Knowing the year your vintage firearm was made makes it easier to decide which gun catalog we sell will give you the best information about the company, models made and more.
Since the 2013 Gun Ban on 4/4/2013, we have had many people tell us that they want to know what firearms the State Police know about. While we are unwilling to post that data because it would potentially expose the names and addresses of people, we were willing to do the next best thing: a serial number search. If you have a firearm with a serial number, enter it into the search and see if the DESPP knows where it is.
You can also browse the database by town and see what and how many registered firearms exist in your town.
This is another step in Connecticut Carry’s ongoing commitment to provide more education and tools to our members and to the citizens of Connecticut to help fight for our rights.
