But I have seen recievers with .22 Mag on them.That are from about the time this was made.I tried finding serial # close to this one.They say .22 Mag.Maybe I should just by the damn Colt Frontier and forget this SS


I would say it's a 1963 model. Mine is #3243xx made in 1961 and is marked as 22 Mag. The serial # you're looking at falls on this list.
