Need help dating my 742

Post by Durhamfirecaptain »

I can't find any info that matches what is stamped on the barrel, 9 K N and this is after it 46. The serial number is 232760. Any help with this would be great, I'm dating all my firearms so my sons will have this info when I'm gone.


Thanks
John

First of all, you need to know the range of years it was manufactured.

Then, you need to interpret the barrel date code.

The date code you listed......"K N"......would translate to May of 1966.
