The serial number on a gun is a unique identifier assigned by the manufacturer, which helps trace the firearm's history, including ownership and production details. To find the date it was made, you can refer to the manufacturer's records, which often correlate specific serial number ranges with production years. Additionally, some manufacturers provide online resources or databases that allow you to look up the serial number for detailed information about the firearm's production date.
If you contact the manufacturer and give them the serial number and model they will be able to tell you.
