Need help dating some older guns
Hey TFL, my uncle was moving and downsizing to an apartment and called me about some old shotguns he had in his basement. I just picked them up today. I want to know around what year they are from there is a semi- auto Browning, a pump action Remington and a bolt action Mossberg. All 12 gauge. Is there anything I can look for to get an estimated date. I will post a picture, it's not the best picture but you guys might be able to help. There will also be a bolt action 22 in the pic but i don't need info on that plinker. cid:6357ECD3-6058-4478-9E52-130A72D07A3B/image.jpeg looks like I can't post a pic right now.

Browning can be dated from the serial...
Remington has a date code on the barrel near the receiver... Not sure about the Mossy... |

Thanks salmoneye I found the code on the Remington but the browning serial isn't matching up with the browning website. I am having trouble posting pics so that's not helping. Also the Mossberg doesn't have a serial number so I think it's lost cause.

Bolt Mossy's were big in the 60's...If you had a model number, I might be able to narrow it down to what years they were produced...
As for the Browning, I assume you have seen this page in your searching: http://www.browning.com/customerserv...tail.asp?id=13 If you can't figure it out from that, give us the serial, number, but leave off the last 3 digits, and maybe someone can help... Like this: SD123xxx |
