So I just bought a Winchester, sold as a 1906. The serial number from what I can tell puts it at 1927 production, the barrel is marked MOD. 06 but does not have a double proof mark like I have seen when replacement barrels are discussed. So is my barrel replaced or is my gun a Model 06?

It’s a model 06, Winchester dropped the 19 off the 1906 in 1919.Erin
Awesome, thank you for clearing that up!

They did the same thing with all Winchesters. Saved on tooling cost. Technically, it is still a M1906, just as the M94 is still a M1894. These markings are usually from when the rifle was first produced. Shortcuts? Always shortcuts. Big Larry
