Videos tagged with Model Year vs Manufacture Year

This guide, drawing from Hickok45's expertise, clarifies a common point of confusion: firearm model names often include a year that signifies the design's introduction, not the specific manufacture date of an individual gun. It uses examples like the Winchester 1894 and 1911 pistol to illustrate this, emphasizing that production spans years and model numbers can be arbitrary. The advice is crucial for accurate firearm identification and historical context.
