To find the manufacture date for a Folsom Arms 12 gauge shotgun using its serial number, you can start by contacting the manufacturer directly if they are still in operation, as they may have records available. Alternatively, you can check online databases and forums dedicated to firearms where collectors and enthusiasts share information about serial number ranges and corresponding manufacture dates.
