I have a BL-22 grade 2 thats been sitting in my safe for the last 15 yrs. I was wondering how old it was so I checked out the Browning site for info.

http://www.browning.com/customerservice/dategun/detail.asp?id=21

The problem is the serial number is not on the right side reciever like the site says. There is a number under the reciever but it doesnt look like described on the Browning site. The number stamped underneath is 71B39441. Does anyone know how old this gun is?

Thanks in advance,
Stonker
