Probably not because the Federal Government did not require the firearm manufacturers to put a serial number on a firearm until 1968, which was when the Federal Firearms law went into effect requiring registration of all firearms purchased. So many firearms manufactured by some of the more popular companies did not even have serial numbers on them. Also there was not a requirement for a manufacturer to put a manufacturer name or brand/model name on a firearm until 1898 when the first federal firearms act was enacted and actually went into effect in 1899. This law also made all "guns" manufactured prior to 1899 not classified as a firearm and subject to Federal Laws and regulations. There were a lot of companies making firearms years ago because they were pretty much in demand and basically unregulated. I have found this information during my quest for some knowledge on some old strange name and no name firearms. Good Luck. Wild Bill from Minnesota
BPS in 12 gauge
Your question can not be answered as written.You must provide the make of shotgun,type(single shot,pump,or semi-auto).also include the gauge,and what condition the shotgun is in overall.
With the serial number that you have provided,your Browning sweet-sixteen auto-5 shotgun was made in the year 1952.
I need butt end of a duble barrowl shotgun 1017 sears.
it was made in 1918
With the serial number that you provided,your Winchester model 1897 pump action shotgun was made in the year 1912.
The manufacturer, but, I doubt if there is one single reference you can go to.
If your Browning auto-5 shotgun is in 12 gauge,then it was made in the first year of production which was 1903.If you have a 16 gauge auto-5 shotgun,then it was made in the first year of production which was 1909.
send the serial number and a description of the weapon to customer service at Remington and they will send back the guns history
i believe somewhere around 1894 with numbers starting with 1 and 2 models in the 3-to 4 seriel number range are 1900
