It has a cross bolt safety. Also, it has printed on made in New Haven, Conn. USA. So, I guess it was manufactured between 1999 and 2003 because every serial number near mine was in that time period. But to me it does not make a lot of difference I am not selling it because I like it way too much was just interested in it.

The cross-bolt safety was standard from 1992 – 2002, and based on the serial number you mention, your Model 94AE was manufactured in the last year it was available… 2002.

Thanks for the info. Mine is a great looking gun and has no blemishes. I would post a picture but can’t figure out how. It will not let me send a pic from my computer or paste one.

I’m looking at a 94AE Trapper model (16″ barrel) in 45LC a friend has for sale. It’s a clean gun, lightly used, not NIB. The serial # is 6266037. About what year was it manufactured and if it’s possible to get an approximate value. Unfortunately, I don’t have any pictures at the moment, but will try to get some.
Appreciate anything you can tell me about it.
Thanks,
Ken

It was manufactured in 1996 or 1997. I have no idea what it is worth. This website is dedicated to the Pre-1964 Winchesters and the information & history for them.

Ken-
The very high condition AE Trappers are attracting limited attention from a small segment of the collecting community with prices from $750 to $1000 for the few that I’ve sold or seen. I think the most enthusiastic buyer for this gun is a modern gun owner with nostalgic cravings but no serious interest in the Winchesters discussed here.

I have only one “Winchester” 94AE Trapper. The reasons I bought it was the price, $75.00 from my former employer, and the caliber, .357 Magnum/38 Spl. Fun gun to shoot.

I too have only one non Winchester Winchester 94ae. It is a 44 mag trapper, only reason I bought was to hunt deer. The fish and game last year amended the shotgun only law to include a lever action carbine only in either 357, 44, or 45colt. Gave it to my son and he got his first buck with.
I purchased a Model 94AE Big Bore with a serial number of 5572073. Could you please let me know the approximate mfg. date? I would appreciate it very much!

You’ve just recalled for me something from the now distant past that I’d forgotten, probably because it was associated with the painful loss of a law school classmate and my shooting, hunting and reloading partner of many years. He was pretty much a Remington guy but also an avid horseman and roping competitor, with a taste for the Winchester 94 in a saddle scabbard on long rides in West Texas. Not too long before he sickened and died, he came by my house with a brand-new Model 94 AE Trapper in a short, highly tooled leather scabbard made for him by a talented mutual friend of ours. It was a 44 Magnum and nothing would do but for me to go with him to the range and try it out. It was handy, fun, and an accurate shooter so I got one for myself. By that time, USRAC was running really handsome and well made 94 carbines. I’d probably still have it if my pal were still here, but I sold it after he was gone.
As collectors we understand that personal weapons have an emotional impact. What we should recognize is that power is not limited to those made in New Haven before November of 1963.

Just a minor correction… manufactured before May 1963. The final two “pre-64” Model 94s bore serial numbers 2600010 & 2600011, and they were manufactured on April 29th, 1963. Production was shutdown for the remainder of the year while Winchester retooled and retrained for the post-63 Model 94 production.

Bert, I think you’ve posted these photos before. Weren’t these a special order either by a WRA executive officer or a customer or dealer with influence? I don’t think I’ve seen any other postwar short wood Model 94 carbines with that quality of feather crotch American Black Walnut, although I don’t pretend to any expertise on the subject.
Interestingly, Winchester Guns, a division of the Browning Arms Company, d/b/a Winchester Repeating Arms seems to have acquired some old school high grade American blanks, as shown on this illustrated 1873. For those who find the small tang safety (which doesn’t bother me) and the rebounding hammer (which I dislike but can live with), sacrilegious, note well that this Competition Carbine has neither feature. In all material respects, it replicates the Third Model 1873.
