H&R 20 gauge shotgun - The Firearms Forum

STKohls · 11-29-2010, 03:25 PM

My son was given a 20 gauge shotgun from my grandfather, and I was hoping to find out when it was made.

It says, "Bay State, Worchester, Mass, USA" on the side
The serial number is A778011, which is stamped behind the trigger and on the barrel.
On top of the barrel is says, "MADE IN USA 20GA CHOKE"

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

The Blue Book states that the Pre-fix A was used in 1940.
