M70 means it was made in 1970
Impossible to answer with just the serial number.
Trying to establish the type/model/ value of the browning
I would need the type of browning shotgun you are asking about,and a serial number which you did not provide.
The M7 suffix to your serial number indicates that you have a browning B.A.R. that was made by browning in 1967.
I would need to know the model and type of shotgun along with the serial number to give you a answer.
No way to tell with only the serial number. A detailed description of all features, type of action, gauge, etc.. is needed.
You will need to include the Model of Browning shotgun,and type of shotgun in your question to get a correct answer.
No way to answer with only the serial number and no other information like, caliber/gauge, action type, etc..
Without the serial number and a complete description of all markings, caliber/gauge and type of action, there is no way for anyone to answer. If you have the serial number but are unwilling to post it, I recommend you go to the Browning website and check their serial number data. You can also find serial numbers in the Blue Book of Gun Values.
Can you please re-phrase your question? Serial number 16-16189 does not exist on any Browning. What type of gun is it? ie: Shotgun, rifle, pistol? the "16-" does not compute.
You will need to provide a little more information.Please indicate what type of Browning shotgun that you have,and what gauge your shotgun is in.
You will have to call Browning with the sn to find out.
