my dad had this rifle when I was 6 or 7 years old. I am now 51 years old. I now own his rifle and it is still a good rifle. It depends on the model #, if you checkout http.//www.gun-data.com you can search by model # for instance model 36B was produced from 1936 to 1938. Good Luck Just an Idea for you: I have my grandfathers No 47A and I restored it in '97. The information was that it was discontinued in 1935. ***I AM ADDING THIS*** i AM SORRY BUT SOMEONE KEEPS PUTTING THAT GUN-DATA WEBSITE FOR ANSWERS, IT DOES NOT GIVE ANY , I TRIED. SOMEONE IS JUST TRYING TO PROMOTE THEIR OWN SITE.
