![]() ![]() I have found some of my original notes, and I am trying to integrate them with the additional information in this thread. I am glad to see this thread really take off. I had started to compile a "Survivor File" for the model 37 a while ago, and when I got a job my work kind of got lost by the wayside. ![]() I doubt warranty work or barrel changes had much to do with odd dating even though each did occur on occasion and those stamps I believe is in the above sticky. And this is why you can't date rifles or changes by serial number. This is why the date code came into play. The serial numbers were to identify each receiver and nothing more and have nothing to do with DOM. The myth is they followed serial numbers and that just didn't happen. ![]() In use you may pull receivers from the top (later numbers) and you work down to the early numbered receivers. As you make and serial number receivers they threw them in the bin and this left early numbers on the bottom of the pile and later on top so to speak. Its possible that receivers could be "lost" in the bins for months or years. Most all manufacturers serial numbered receivers in numerical order and then stored them in bins in no particular order and thats how they were pulled and used, in no particular order, they are used at random. THEY DO NOT BUILD GUNS IN NUMERICAL ORDER. ![]()
