#BROWNING SERIAL NUMBERS FOR 20 GAUGE SERIAL NUMBERS#
Most early Browning serial numbers contained no date or model information and can not be dated using this system.ġ958 to 1968 - The last digit of the year was used. This dating system is for Browning firearms manufactured after 1958. So parts are like hens teeth.ĭating Browning Firearms Post 1958 Manufacture Plus they apparently did not make that many. Browning and Remington sometimes have date codes as part of their serial numbers. I checked with my cousin and he said that they have not made the B2000 for years and years. They started the Python revolver at serial number 1. This might help determine the manufacture year. That is still scarey but caused by a different problem. Unless you are talking about a standard double feed where the chamber does not close and somehow it went off anyway. If two 12 gauge shells actually made it into the chamber and barrel at one time, that gun is a real POS.
According to Browning, the barrel stamp indicates that it was among the first 10,000 shipped to the US. The serial number, according to browning, means that it was made sometime between 19.
It held together better than I thought it would and I only was hit by a couple of small pieces of the trigger assembly. The barrel has the 'BROWNING AUTOMATIC ARMS CO. I had a student's Glock do that next to my head while I was knelling down between two students during a stress-fire shoot-off. So they do a failure to feed drill, and the next round goes off behind it. This round gets stuck in the magazine and half way through the magazine it gets chambered. 40 cal Glock picks up a 9mm round from one of his range neighbors.
I have seen the same thing with Glocks on the range. These are just small enough to chamber and pass down the bore a ways. With a 12 gauge I have seen it twice with somebody somehow getting a 16 gauge shell into the mix. I have had several students on the range blow up guns with multi rounds in the barrels.
