Perhaps someone could just post the page of dates for date stampings or maybe by month?
Something like this maybe helpful:
Jan 44 5,XXX,XXX to 5,XXX,XXX
Feb 44 5,XXX,XXX to 5,XXX,XXX

Lots of people want a closer interpretation where one is available and Winchester is a maker you can get closer on, but yes as stated previously, the date given is not at all the date of assembly.
The s/n was placed on the receiver 01/27/1944.Quote:

@cpc, Winchester Carbine production ended in August 1945. According to Ruth & Duff's Carbine owners guide the Approximate Serial number range produced during April, May and June 1945 was 6491000-6596000
Of all the great work Ruth did, that chart is not included. If it wasn't printed on non-absorbent enameled paper, it might be useful as toilet paper.Quote:

Oh OK firstflabn, "All listed serial numbers should be considered to be approximations and are not exact" although I kinda figured the word Approximate would have made that clear.Quote:
