Mfg. 1893-1935" (1st Model with saddle ring 1893-1915, 2nd Model 1922-35); the Model 1893 line as a whole (rifles) ran to 1936 (Model 336 article; littlegun "MODEL 1893 RIFLE ... Mfg. 1893-1936"); it disagrees with Wikipedia's 1936, so y ends 1936

- Evidence passYears: 1893–1935 → 1893–1936. Kept 1893–1935; the Model 336 article's 1893–1936 is the whole Model 1893 line, so y lies within it
