Yes
No way to answer with only the serial number and no other information.
Start at the library.
We need make, model, and condition, Serial number imparts no information.
I'm going to need more information, like who made the rifle and the model number to Identify it. Just the serial is not much help.
There are books with the serial numbers for sale. Do a web search for M1 Garand
Serial numbers were not required before 1968. 50-100 USD. 50 + years old.
The serial number 4279990 is a partial serial number for this rifle. To determine the date the rifle was manufactured you need to provide a complete serial number that begins with letters.
You have listed the model number of your rifle,not the serial number.
Proofhouse.com has Colt sn data
Not a serial number if that is on a Sears or JC Higgins rifle. Might be a serial number on an Ithaca rifle. Please list all the markings on the rifle, just as they are on the rifle. sales@countrygunsmith.net
The rifle had the serial number C 2766.
A serial number alone does not provide enough information to answer your question. More than one gun can have that serial number. What make? What model?
