    Looking at these posts my curiosity is up regarding my little .22. Can you tell me when my Belgian .22 was made? Thanks! SN = T76144

    Just happened upon this site today and noticed your post. I called Browning in Arnold, Missouri today to date my own Browning Semi Auto .22. I grew up with it. Squirrels feared me! :)
    My s/n is T79800, so mine came of the assembly line practically right behind yours. Browning dated mine at 1960, so yours would be that, or a maybe '59 at most. If you want to give them a call, I dialed 800-322-4626 and just selected the prompt for Customer Service. Hope that helps some. Good luck.
    p.s. - The "T" means "Long Rifle".

    Would anyone be able to help with the date of manufacture of a newer model SA-22 made in the Miroku factory (Japan). It has a different style serial number which is not on the Browning site. (SN is 100A141650) - It's a grade 1. Thanks!

    Sorry Jim, that number doesn't fit the profile. I'd call Browning.

    Just got on the site for the first time today. I am refurbing an old Browning SA22, just got it back from the gunsmith. The receiver has no engraving on the sides, the only engraving it has is on the bottom of the trigger guard. The serial number isT24332. Anybody have any ideas about the date of manufacture?

    Hello, your rifle is a 1957. If you want to check out this site, less confusing.
