question for Bert
Hi all,
I'm looking at a Model 94 30/30 cal. The serial number is: 3920253
Can anyone tell me the year of manufacture?
Thanks, Tom

Without having it researched by the Cody Firearms Museum records office, all I can tell you is that it was manufactured in May of 1888. Even with a factory letter, it is highly unlikely that it would be traceable to Ned Christie. 0 -

Even with a factory letter, it is highly unlikely that it would be traceable to Ned Christie.I didn't expect it would, but the info you've been able to supply tells us that Christie somehow acquired this rifle during a period when he was holed up out in the boonies of Indian Territory.
When he became (mistakenly) wanted for the murder of a US Marshal in 1887 he retreated to an isolated, fortified compound surrounded by supporters, but was finally taken out using dynamite in 1892.0
