After the 1968 Federal Gun Control Act, it became mandatory. Before that, many did not have a serial number. Crime was wiped out with the serial number addition. Yeah, right.

A68-00134 who manufacturers this firearm?

that sounds like the weapons serial number not the make or model of the weapon the make will always be a name like Sako or Remington for example. The model will be numbers, or an assortment of letters and numbers, but none are as long as the numbers that you have given.

Does Stevens model 9478 have a serial number?

Sure it does, but you probably have to disassemble the firearm to find it.If you think it has value then do such, otherwise sell it for a profit and move on. Your serial number on the 9478 should be on the side of the receiver, and should begin with a letter then numbers


How old is your Remington model 11 serial 401192?

Assuming your Model 11 Remington is a shotgun. Remington doesn't date firearms by serial number. Receivers (which have serial numbers) are made during one specific time. Later, at some point the receiver is assembled into a complete gun. Remington, for some reason chooses to use "date codes" that are stamped on the shotgun barrel, so assuming the barrel is the original barrel to that firearm, the date code on the barrel holds the key to when that shotgun became an assembled firearm. Actually serial list/dates do exist ;) They are online at the Remington Society of America in the part of the Remington factory log book including model 11's, from my quick list this is a very late shotgun after 1931 (where my quick serial list ends). There is also the date code table there, please see related links.


What is a Remington 30 caliber autolo-loading rifle worth?

The value of a firearm depends on the condition it is currently in. It also depends on which model the firearm is. Some models were made in less numbers and therefore are less common and can command higher prices. The closer to original condition as far as the amount of original finish remaining on the wood and/or metal is more desirable to collectors.
