Where is the serial number located on these rifles. I have an FN that I cannot locate the number on. | ||

It's on the right side of the front receiver ring and it's very small stamping...hardly readable actually. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

remove the action from the stock...mine is almost half way into the stock. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

Someone has probably filed it off??? | |||
|
| one of us |
That is what I am thinking. If so they did a good job no evidence of a file or anything whatsoever. | |||

on my gun the stamping is so shallow that in a rebluing job it could have been buffed off PM sent /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

If it has the original barrel look at the breech end ahead of the reciever. Have had some marked on the barrel only. | |||

Not necessarily so. Some actions were imported without serial numbers. I had one in .270 Win. that I bought brand new from Sears when they first came out. It had no serial number. Later models do have one though. It wasn't until the passage of the Gun Control Act of 1968 that all rifles and shotgun were required to have serial numbers, although I believe handgun were required to have them. Paul B.

Perhaps the gun has been reblued and they polished it off or suface ground it...They are on the right side in small and very shallow cut numbers, easy to polish off... I sugges that you put a 4 diget number on it, your last 4 numbers of your tel. are good and easy to remember.

There was a number on the barrel. It said J.C. Higgins M50 583.91. I thought of using that. | |||

I have an old Sears High Standard shotgun that doesn't have a serial number either, for sure, never reblued, been out of the stock checking for it. I don't know about rifles but the reference above to the 1968 act is correct. | |||

Elcaballero Thats the same number mine has! Mine has no serial number and I am almost certain it hasnt been refinished all other marking are perfect. Dean | |||
