Best Answer

Used to keep the parts identified for assembley.



For gun collectors, it means that all of the parts that were originally assembled on the gun are still on the gun. A mismatched serial number means that the part with the non-matching number has been replaced, and may not fit correctly. Guns with matching numbers are more valuable to collectors.

Should the serial numbers on the receiver and the barrel match on a Browning Sweet 16?

Prior to WWII all barrels and receivers should match. The practice stopped as absolute in the late 40's to around 1951 or 52. It is not necessary for them to match to be original as sold, however there are many cases where a barrel did match a gun as late as the 60's. This does not affect the value or collectability of the gun after the 1940's if it doesnt have matching numbers.

What were the serial numbers on Davenport shotguns?

WHAT were they, or WHERE were they? There probably are none as they were manufactured long before serialization was required by law. Well, allow me to help you on the question as to where the serial number can be found on a W. H. Davenport shotgun. Remove the barrel. The shotgun I have has a flip open tab on the right side that is attached to a screw. Unscrew that and remove the barrel. On the underside of the barrel, at the breech, you'll find the serial number. Also, I noticed, behind the after end of the trigger guard are two numbers. Those two numbers match the last two numbers of the serial number. I'm not sure of their purpose. If this was helpful drop me a line at z.poet$pam@verizon.net (Of course, remove the $pam from the address.) Cheers, George Note: matching no's will be found on the lock, stock & barrel. The four didgits are found inside the frt stock that cradles the barrel, under the barrel where the lock will conceal when assembled. Also inside the top of the rear stock where the lock is attached, and under the lock behind the trigger guard as mentioned. And contrary to George, all numbers match on my "Davenport". signed the stunner.
