Greetings: I have a first model .22 Challenger (Made in Belgium) with a non-standard serial number. According to the Browning Web Site http://www.browning.com/services/dat...s/challngr.htm my Challenger doesn't exist serial number wise!
My Challenger has a (7) diget serial number without a letter in it. #13430XXX The Browning site states that all Challengers have a letter "U" in the serial number that denotes the pistol is a Challenger.
Any help you can give me to explain this anomaly will be appreciated. Thanks.
