2004 Taurus Model 85B2

Can anyone tell me what all the different numbers and letters mean on my Taurus 85. For instance I found a X on the inside where the ejector rod sits, why? There is also a 48 on the bottom side of the stock, why? There is also a 7796 85 under the ejector rod housing, why? Any help is greatly appreciated. Have an awesome day

Probably part markers for use during manufacturing.

The model number is stamped on the frame inside the crane. I forget where the serial number is. Those are the only two things you really have to worry about.

I do know that an X at the end of a serial number on a Taurus indicates that it is either a blemishes or refurbished gun. Kygunco has a lot of these "blem" deals.

Not sure if the location of your x is the same thing though.
