The information by David Kennedy and posted here are of greatvalue to Winchester collectors and the following corrections shouldin no way take away from his valuable work. He is now aware of thiserror and has not had time to make a correction. He just assumedthat the tables published by others were taken from Madisinformation.
The dates attributed to Madis by Kennedy do not agree with thosein Madis' books: The Winchester Book & Winchester Handbook.They do agree with the dates in Schwing, Pirkle (and most 'Others')books & tables. The differences are:
1894: 1674 (CFM); 14579 (attributed to Madis, really 'Others'14759 (actual Madis)
Notice the transposing of the '57' and '75' in these dates?Which is correct?
Then in 1933 the dates attributed by Kennedy to Madis startvarying from what is published in his books, and by 1936 take amajor deviation:
1933: 1092328 (CFM), 1089270 (attributed to Madis, really'Others') 1,089,271 (actual Madis)
1934: 1095364 (CFM), 1091190 (attributed to Madis, really'Others') 1,091,192 (actual Madis)
1935: 1099625 (CFM), 1099605 (attributed to Madis, really'Others') 1,099,608 (actual Madis)
1936: 1119104 (CFM), 1100065 (attributed to Madis, really'Others') 1,112,194 (actual Madis)
1937: 1158835 (CFM), 1100679 (attributed to Madis, really'Others') 1,138,781 (actual Madis)
1938: 1198405 (CFM), 1100915 (attributed to Madis, really'Others') 1,169,370 (actual Madis)
1939: 1216165 (CFM), 1101051 (attributed to Madis, really'Others') 1,197,211 (actual Madis)
1940: 1259563 (CFM), 1142423 (attributed to Madis, really'Others') 1,238,584 (actual Madis)
1941: 1313301 (CFM), 1191307 (attributed to Madis, really'Others') 1,287,648 (actual Madis)
1942: 1343183 (CFM), 1221289 (attributed to Madis, really'Others') 1,317,830 (actual Madis)
1943: 1343190* (CFM), 1267741* (attributed to Madis, really'Others') 1,348,192 (actual Madis)
1944: 1343196 (CFM), 1314193* (attributed to Madis, really'Others') 1,378,554 (actual Madis)
1945: 1352066 (CFM), 1360645* (attributed to Madis, really'Others') 1,408,916 (actual Madis)
*Some serial numbers produced during and after World War II werenot recorded. These serial number figures assume an equal numberproduced each year of these gaps in the record.
Also, the numbers given by Kennedy, attributed to Madis, for1951 - 1962 are those given by 'Others,' not Madis.

Firearms produced by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company (later Winchester-Western Company and U.S. Repeating Arms Company), 1866–2006, by model:
In 1919 Winchester abandoned numbering models by the year of introduction and assigned two-digit numbers, sequential beginning with 51 for rifles. Older guns still in production had their model numbers truncated, e.g. the Model 1912 shotgun became the Model 12. There was one exception: the unconventional 'Thumb Trigger' rifle, which was not previously numbered, was given the designation 99.[1]
Non-sequential model numbers
(Model 1200 variant)
