Mickthemiller Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 HI I was hoping to help you but if there are no letters in the serial number I am unable to,if you happen to find a number with letters in it the codes are listed below Miroku Codes . It's two letters in the serial number (usually at the end): Z=1; Y=2, X=3, W=4, V=5; T=6; R=7; P=8, N=9, M=0. Thus, a gun with PN in the serial number was made in 1989.

mudpatten Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Looking at the pics.it might be an older 600 model. If it is, and it was a private purchase, it is worth getting the bores miked up internally. For reasons best known to the Japs the 600 range was bored at .740, the largest size for a 12 bore,and it can happen, as did with mine,that although the bores look unmarked there has been enough wear to render them out of proof. If you bought it from a gun shop then no need to worry since it would have been checked before sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
