apbuild Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Frisp, The code, found on all guns throughout the Browning/Winchester range after 1977, was, and still is, as follows: The letter Z represents the figure 1 T represents the figure 6 Y represents the figure 2 R represents the figure 7 X represents the figure 3 P represents the figure 8 W represents the figure 4 N represents the figure 9 V represents the figure 5 M represents the figure 0 Using this information, the age of any gun produced after 1977 is obvious to all who know the code. eg Gun no. 12345NP was started in 1998. Unless your gun was started before 1977, you should be able to say how old it is by the serial number. Hope this might help. Rob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frisp Posted August 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Thanks for that Rob looks like it might be pre 77, making it a lot older than I thought. My number is K???E Anyone any thoughts on how I can date a pre 77 winchester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavman Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Hi Frisp I had an old fabarm O/U fixed choke, and the dealer I got it from was not sure of the age, so I went on line and found the fabarm site e mailed the details and they came back with the records, maybee you could do the same, worth a try. pavman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
