I have acquired a 94 Ranger 30-30, serial number 6304042. I am guessing it was manufactured around 1994-1995. Would anyone know or how to find out the year of manufacture?
Does your Ranger have a Tang safety? If it does not (and I suspect that it does not), it was manufactured before 2002. Based on the information I have, your Model 94 Ranger was most likely manufactured in the year 1999.

Bert, serial number 6382197. Trails end model 94. I’ve tried looking in the internet and can’t seem to find a good source for new model serial number lookups. What year would this gun be?

There are no “good” sources of DOM information for the USRACo manufactured Model 94s. That stated, the estimated date (year) of manufacture for your Model 94 is 2000.

654573x is a 2004 production.
Adding my rifle to this list to help document late production Model 94AE tang safety serial number dates.
I emailed
customersupport @winchesterguns .com with my serial number, and they quickly replied back with the info.
I purchased it new from Walmart on 06/05/05 for $264.86 with a box of Winchester Super-X 150gr PP 30-30 ammo for $9.97.
