Winchester Model 190 serial numbers — what the records say

What to know about Model 190 serial numbers

• The B prefix is shared with other models, so it gives no year table for the Model 190. The prefix on its own can neither identify a Model 190 nor date one.
• Do not confuse the semiautomatic Model 190 with the much earlier Model 1906/06 pump rifle.
