The Winchester model 52B was made in 3 different models from 1940-1947.If yours does not say made in japan(reissue of the model 52B in 1993) then I would say by your serial number that it was made somtime between 1945-1946.
I need to ask if this rifle was made by Browning?The 2 letters in the serial number would indicate that this rifle was made in the year 1998,as marked by Browning.Winchester never has used the serial number system that your serial number demonstrates.If this was a Browning made rifle it was probably made by Miroku of Japan and would be so marked on the rifle.

The Stevens model 52b dates to the mod-1930s. Stevens is the same company as Savage, and also sold rifles under the name Springfield (not to be confused with the Springfield Armory military rifle maker) and shotguns under the name Fox. The model 52b was also sold by Montgomery Ward under the Wards house brand "Western Field" as a model 36. To confuse matters, Wards also sold the Mossberg model 10 (very similar to the 52b) as a Western Fields model 36.
