Mod. 25 date code

Post by rim-fire »

Just picked up a model 25 (32-20) SN# 3028 I thought with the low SN it would be a 1st or 2nd year production gun, the date code KU makes it May 1927 is this right?

I keep a database on model 25s and have some information on 3028 when it was on gunbroker. According to what I have, you will find it marked KU3KP. KU3 means it was "returned to factory for repair" in May, 1927. The KP means it was built in May, 1923. The KP code is inline with the dates of other rifles in that serial range that I have on the database..........tom h

Thanks for the info. I wasn't sure what the other letters and numbers meant.
