Para Ordnance Serial Number
Does anyone know of any good websites where one can look up the date of a firearm's manufacture by its serial number? (I did try the search function on here to see if this has been discussed before, but I didn't find it; of course, I am old and barely computer literate, so I might have done it wrong!) There used to be a real good site put up by the 'Hoosier Gun Club', with a lot of links to sites where dates could be looked up by serial number, but it is not there anymore. So if any of the folks here on this forum know of any good sites/links for this, please post them..... I'd like to compile a list for as many firearm manufacturers as possible.
