Re: The Browning Lever Action Rifle (BLR) By: Bruce Hamlin

Thank you for that link! How crazy that the would swap the year like that. Yes, they are very hard to come by. Might just be a single shot for a while.

Re: The Browning Lever Action Rifle (BLR) By: Bruce Hamlin

The number preceding the K are the year. Not the 57 The serial number is 0737_K57, which doesn't match anything shown. I assume the 0737_ was the serial number, but then it doesn't make sense for 1957 to be the year. It also doesn't make sense for the year to be the middle two numbers in the series...

Re: The Browning Lever Action Rifle (BLR) By: Bruce Hamlin

I have a BLR 308 with a serial number that doesn't seem to make sense. It ends in "K57" but 1957 doesn't make sense. Does anyone have experience with this? Was it built in 1975 instead of 57 or something? Thank you! https://www.browning.com/support/date-your-firearm/blr-lever-action-rifle...
