my ex girlfriends dad before he passed away gave me a browning 22 auto, belgiam made, with the rear sight having the wheel adjustment, the gun is mint, at least 98.5% trouble is i can not find a serial number anywhere on the rifle, i do not want to take it apart, but i would love to know the year of manufacture...... any help would be nice

Fine little guns. I have one that my Dad left to me. Next time I get it out, I will look for the serial number. Do you have the type that loads through the stock and ejects out the bottom.?

I have one made in 1962. The serial # is on the bottom of the barrel at the tip of the forend.

My 1962 model has it on the barrel under the fore end too.

Rifles before 1956 were not serialized.

Those are good .22's and if you keep it in good condition they can be worth a pretty penny. A friend of mind just bought one never been shot and had original box and was made in Belgium for little over a grand.
