60320XX, on bottom of firearm and has the “push” safety.
Where to get information? Cal.: 30/30 Barrel Length: 20″
Does it have the “cross-bolt” safety? If so, that was introduced in 1992.

Bert, I think the O/P’s referring to a sliding tang safety which seems to be the current iteration of certain Winchester “safety mechanisms”. Handier & bit less objectionable for me than levers with cross-bolts! I just Googled and came up with the following Winchester factory “Owners Manual” PDF, ‘perhaps – ???’, correct for his rifles. Within PDF, after the huge amount of red ink hazards & warnings worthy of perhaps a nuclear containment facility, there’s actually some useful, descriptive info. 🙂 Perhaps the “information” being requested???
Sir, if this isn’t what you need, you really need to be more descriptive!!! Enjoy that Winchester…. 🙂
Best & all do stay safe! Connotation as “mask & social distancing”!

John,
The serial number the O/P mentioned is way too early for a Tang Safety Model 94.

You’re the expert here Burt! Perhaps my error in ‘assuming’ safety function descriptor as “sliding”. Perhaps the cross-bar safety would accommodate such serial as the O/P suggests. Likely about mid nineties???
Apologies if this made unnecessarily complex with erroneous assumption, please excuse!

Evening Gents,
Thank you for the replies.
It has the “right to left push button” safety.
Maple stock and forearm.
I tried the on=line “date” app here and no results.
thin plastic Buttplate has “under license to U.S. Repeating Arms Co.”

Based on the serial number, I suspect it is a 1992 or 1993 production gun.

According “RECORDS AT The FACTORY, AND IN SOME YEARS, ESTIMATES, INDICATE The
FOLLOWING Serial NUMBERS WERE ASSIGNED TO GUNS AT TOO END OF THE CALENDAR
YEAR.”
1990 -5615397
1991 – 6008296
So, then 1992 should be; 603xxx
It’s getting a good detailing and lubing, then head to the range to get it ready for the MI deer season.
So i would assume mine would be a 1990 also with a serial # 5646826?
Thanx for any info
