Dateing my H&R 999 Sportsman - The Firearms Forum

hankhill33 · 11-13-2009, 04:33 PM

I have not been on this site in quite some time ....but when I need info this is the best place to go so.........
Today at my local gun shot I picked up a H&R 999 Sportsman 6 inch
And I would like to know the year of manufacture .
I have searched alot of forums, looking for a list of codes/dates
And have only been able to find where someone was kind enough to give a date to the new owner...
But where is this info listed ??? Can I buy a book or just print something off ?
My new to me find is marked with AT076XXX
Please HELP

Hank,
AT prefix = 1979 manufacture of your Sportsman.
The Blue Book of gun Values has the serial # listing from 1940 through 1986.
