This is what it says under Resources

“Production began in April 1954 at serial number 1001. Serial numbers reached approximately 178500 when Winchester discontinued serializing this model. Total production is listed as 217,180 rifles.
It is possible to determine a more specific manufacture date range by identifying the specific physical features of the rifle in question.”

My records show a DOM of 1961 but I can’t recall where I got that from. I bought the rifle 4 years ago.

Which stock does it have, does it have the bolt hold-open feature.  Those are some of the details which help date the 77’s

No bolt hold open, stock is plain uncheckered walnut with pistol grip, no monte carlo, plastic butt plate. Anything else?
