While it may be possible to age your rifle/shotgun.I would need the maker of the firearm in question,the model number/or name of the firearm.I would also need the type of firearm(rifle,shotgun,handgun) the type of firearms action(single shot,pump action,semi auto). Also include the barrel length,caliber etc.along with the serial number that you have posted to have any hope of identifying your firearm and it,s age.
Just the serial number is not enough to tell who or what you have.
No way to tell from a serial number only.
No way to tell just by the serial number.
model number is always smaller than serial
Usually by the serial number. If no serial number, then by features
No way to answer without the serial number. You can call Colt and they will tell you if you provide the serial number.
If serial number data has been published, yes.
The serial number will equate to a year.
Proofhouse.com has Colt serial number data.
Not as easy as it is to call Yamaha with your serial number and have them tell you exactly what it is.
The year of manufacture for serial number 1821238 is 1952.
1961, and the serial number tells you nothing else.
