Hi,

I have an old one of these, and wondered if anyone can tell me when it was made...

Serial # is 7xxx and it's chambered in 22L, but shoots and feeds 22LR (not the ultra velocity stuff) just fine.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Should be around 1923-24, no actual records exist so that's Matt Eastmans estimate. Pre- SN 20000 the lower tang should be squared, not rounded.

Happy shooting,
Browningguy

Thanks Browningguy.

I'll check the lower tang tomorrow (my rifles are all stored off-site)...

Cheers
