even a pre-1968 firearm. Pre 1968 where no required to have serial numbers and the prefix is for a 1966-1967 22lr. just asking. For a friend.
Thank you Sir. I did not know. I would have bought the rifle in second. I play by the rules and now I know. Thank You again Sir.
Danger, Danger, Will Robinson!
What number did the gun shop use as the serial number?
I thought serial numbers were to be on the receiver?
The receiver is technically the firearm...it's fun to talk about though!

LOL @ the Fuddness in this thread.
Eh. Does the font match?
It looks like a factory job to me.
That doesn't mean you won't have to pay a lawyer and get raked over the coals.

I contacted Browning. They searched their microfiche records and found an annotation the corrected number is the valid serial number. They are sending me an official letter stating those facts. They also had the original sales receipt that indicated the sale of the rifle, by correct serial number, to a local gun store in 1963. So I will have all the official documentation that this gun, manufactured prior to the Gun Control Act of 1968, requiring serial numbers, is a valid gun.
Super cool!
