What year was your 9422 made?

Where the serial number is

Two places on the underside: on the forward receiver assembly and just rearward on the rear receiver half.

Where these dates come from

Winchester's original factory records do not cover every model. For the 9422, the dates come from one published source, Winchester's own customer-service list (2012). It was typed up long after production, so treat any year as a close estimate rather than a factory record.

What to know about 9422 serial numbers

  • Winchester's own customer-service list is a retyped compilation, not the original records. The list itself says that no complete original serial record from 1866 onward is known to exist, and that some of its figures are estimates.

Winchester rifles that never had a serial number

These have no serial number to look up. Their pages explain why, and how to date one from its features.

No factory letter is available for the 9422

The Cody Firearms Museum, which holds Winchester’s surviving factory records and issues factory letters, does not list the 9422 among the models it can search. The published tables on this page are the best evidence available for dating one.
