It was made in 1978
It is not possible to answer this question with just the serial number. It most likely is made in China
Please state the Model number and the condition of the rifle Excellent to Poor.
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.
It was made in 1974
by the serial number. Post the serial number here on answers, put it in the "air gun and air rifle" category and I'll locate an answer for you.
Unfortunately their is no master record of every model air rifle made by model number that is compiled into one list. You will have to give some sort of description of the rifle. Is it a spring powered air rifle or C02 or Pump? Is it made out of wood or plastic? It is a BB or a Pellet air rifle. How long is it? About how old is it? Does it have any markings on it other than the serial number? Is it a multy or single shot rifle? without more information it is not possible to answer your question.
Yes
It was made in 1983
Serial numbers are usually on the left side of the barrel near the breech (loading port)
You cannot age a sheridan air rifle with no serial number. ----------------------------------- New Answer------------------ The above answer is not entirely correct. Sheridan rifles did not carry serial numbers before 1972. So if yours has no number it was made before 1972. Also if you can find the model number, then that can identify the date range that model was made.
Unfortunately I can't tell you the age by the serial number. State the model number, that will help identify it's age.
