Winchester\'s serial‑numbering system appears to have changed in January
1945. This seems to be about the time W.R.A. switched from 2.5 million
serial numbers to 1.6 million. These are often referred to as WIN‑13
rifles. The 2.5 million numbers stopped in the area of 2,535,XXX which
places it about 39,000 rifles from the end of production in June 1945.
It is believed that approximately 40,000 WIN‑13 rifles were produced. In
addition, rifles in the 1.6 million serial number range have been
observed ranging from number 1,602,XXX through 1,639,XXX. All of this
supports the January 1945 date for the serial number range change.
