Dating by serial #

[Irish Dave]

Any way to get approximate dates (ar at least year) of manufacture of Uberti firearms by the serial number?

I seem to recall that service used to be available somewhere, but can't find it now. In some cases I could contact the various importers, but in other cases, they are no longer in business or no longer handling these items.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

The reliable indicater is the series of number or letters inside a square box -usually in front of the trigger guard. Recent ones are all letters With BU corresponding with 2004- casting about among the various muzzle loading forums will probably get you the entire list from.

Thanks mec.

I have that table up to about 1995 or so, but am missing the letter codes/dates from then till now. If anyone has them I'd be much obliged if they'd share.

MEC found a different site than I did--the only one I found is http://www.berettaweb.com/DL1.htm

Thanks, Gunsmith. That's what I needed.
