I have a Sears Model 100 (a Ted Williams 94 made for Sears) serial number: V160XXX.

Anybody know how to date this thing?

Thanks in advance.

I had forgotten about Teddy Baseball and the Sears connection with Winchester. He was one of my heroes, and I've always liked the looks of the Winchester 94. Maybe I'll find one in the shop after hunting season. . .

But I digress. A search on this forum found a link to a site that gives dates of manufacture (Savage 99 -- go figure). Anyway, I put in your serial number as ending digits 001 and 999 and both came back 1982.

Tog,

Thanks for the info. There are a couple of Sears 94s on Gunbroker http://gunbroker.com/ .

Last time I looked, no one had bid on them. IIRC they were about listed at about $200. I paid $100 for mine a year or so ago. It cycles much better than my 1964 Win, but is not quite as accurate.

Happy hunting....
