Thread: Card Gustaf year of manufacture

Is there any way of telling the year of manufacture even reasonably approximate by the serial number on the side of the receiver
The year of manufacture should be on the top of the receiver but this is covered my a mounted scope and I really don't want to tyake it off
The number on the receiver is
52261
Thanks.

I found tis on the internet:

1898 Carl Gustafs - 1 - 3190
1899 Carl Gustafs - 3359 - 20792
1899 Oberndorf - 20864 - 35103
1900 Oberndorf - 344 - 7382
32122 - 58900
1900 Carl Gustafs - 60501 - 84247

And this: http://www.gotavapen.se/gota/mats/ma...user_rifle.htm

And this has a bit about serial numbers too. http://www.littlegun.info/arme%20nat...%2038%20gb.htm

Unless the crest on the rifle is Husqvarna, which were all the shorter versions made in 1941 from memory.

Thanks
It definitely says Carl Gustaf
Cheers Tahr I looked for ages but couldn't find an relation, found the two links.
That would make it 1899 ? am I reading that correctly.
My brother inlaw bought it from a friend of a friend at work etc, you know how it goes, then asked me about it, not before.
One of the cut down sporters that came in here in the early 90's by the look, stock is a bit rough but the rifling is very sharp, receiver and barrel look good and someone has put nighteater scope on it
I think it will serve him well for what he wants.
cheers,
