Can you tell when Winchester went from a seamed magazine tube to the seamless on both the 1892 & 1894 ? Any info is appreciated. Terrill

Terrill,

The magazine tubes were always seamed. If you have one without a seam in it, it is a reproduction.

Edit: Let me clarify a bit... if it is a Pre-1964 Winchester, it should have a seamed magazine tube. I do not know what Winchester did in the Post-1963 production years (other than make cheap guns).
