Rescued a Red Ryder This Week

Hi all,
Sunday, I ran across an old RR laying in the mud behind a friend's house. I asked if I could have it. A few weird looks later, and I have a non-working RR.
It needed some work. Trigger group was soaked and rinsed until it moved freely. I removed 5 rusty BBs and a ton of dirt from the barrel. The frame was cleaned and the inside was lightly sanded. Stock was glued back into one part.
After 2 days, I have a functional RR. It's still very rough on the outside, but it will shoot.

Lot # 495-05655
Can anyone decipher this number for me?
Cycled maybe 20 shots last night. Great shooter.

If it's

495 05655, that tells you it was made April of 1995. And it was the 5,655th gun made. These were still made in the USA in '95 and it should have a nice walnut stain, not the orange Chinese mud they are using now. Probably came with a plastic lever. Hope that helps.
