Browning Bar Search Serial Number Be On

Browning collector here, I love BARs From the pictures I have seen so far Your grandfather has one of the best hunting rifles ever made.

Plus its in great condition Now, patent pending doesnt add anything here, every one of my BARs has it(I have quite a few.) Its a Browning thing.

What are the rest of the numbers on the side of the receiver Ive got 71438 After this should be an M If its a 7, you got a 67 model, if its an 8 then 68 model year.

Im not really sure why he was offered so much money, perhaps the gunsmith shot it and found out how amazing it shoots.

All these guns shoot well, but I have one a gunsmith tried for years to buy off of me it shoots so well.

As in, less recoil than any rifle I own and absolutely hammers.

If you would like I can PM you the number for the Browning Historian to get an official letter confirming its make and model etc signed by Browning 17 Share Report Save level 2 Original Poster 3 years ago Hey Thanks for your response After the 5 digits, there is an M9 and the crown has a PV inside of it.

It feels like a 7mm mag bolt with a modern recoil pad.

Let me start off by saying that my knowledge on firearms is so close to 0 that it might as well be.

He said he was offered 3,000 cash a few years ago by a dealer in TN which tipped him off that the gun was worth something.

He doesnt really have access to the internet (they live in the middle of nowhere).

So I told him that Id do my best to get as much info about the gun as possible for him.

So Im wondering if anyone here was willing to share any knowledge they have on it.

I really appreciate it.

Share Report Save level 2 3 years ago Wouldnt the serial number be on the receiver anyways not the barrel 6 Share Report Save Continue this thread level 1 3 years ago So I would contact browning.

Usually in firearms that implies either a prototype or demo model for sales.

Again I would recommend contacting browning directly they do not charge moneys and can tell you more about it although they will refrain from tell you any value.

It is more than likely valuable though well done 13 Share Report Save level 2 Original Poster 3 years ago Thank you Ill check their hours and give them a ring.
