steve_b_wales Posted January 28, 2023 Report Share Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) Is there any way of checking when my Howa 1500 rifle was manufactured? I've checked online but can't find anything.

Couldn't get any info from the proof marks, none that I could work out anyway. I contacted Legacy Sports in the USA and then have come back to say that iot was manufactured on 2013. It had been in storage for 3 years when I bought it (the owner developed cancer and sadly died) and I have not used it for the past two years.

No sorry, I just gave them the number and they came back with the date. They also said that this was all the information they could provide on the rifle.
