AnswerThe 69 and 69A were manufactured from 1935 to 1963. Since they were not serialized, you will not be able to find the exact year of manufacture.I'm not familiar with a "Winchester model 77". Is this a bolt action gun or a lever-action rifle? Winchester's famous bolt-action hunting rifle is called the Model 70. Their most famous lever-action guns are the 1873 and 1894 models. Ruger is a company that has a bolt-action rifle called the Model 77.
