I just picked up a used M700 BDL in .35Whelen.
It's well worn but that's not a concern to me, no need to worry about a few marks.
I'd like to figure out the year of manufacture.
2 letter code on the barrel is
KJ, serial number starts with
C.
I think the
K means
May and the
J 1989? Can anybody help with that?
