doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion DoubleGun BBS @ doublegunshop.com Help dating an Arrietta- is it C&R

I have an Arrietta that I have bought. I also have a C&R License. Now the question I need some help on, is it eligible to be sent direclty to me, or will it need a 01FFL?

Serial number is either 12XX OR 57-03-26x-xx

Any help is appreciated. Def want to keep away from the batfe folks!

It should have a date code on the barrel flats. I believe a letter and number. That will tell you the year of manufacture. I think all Spanish guns have these codes.

Your gun was made 1995 or after if it has this info code.
57-03-26x-xx

Example in the below site

Since 1995 Spain integrated the manufacturing year in the serial number in the following form:

16-03-001-95

16 = Manufacturer in this case AYA
03 = type of weapon
001 = serial number by the manufacturer
95 = 1995, year of manufacturing


Have you reviewed the proof dates?
