| Made for Winchester
Winchester O/U were also made by Miroku of Japan and Olin Corp. The K at the start of you serial # might mean Olin Corp.'s Kodensha plant that closed in 1989 it was located in Tochigi, Japan. The gun book I'm reading also goes on to say that a "letter code" was used on imports, but it doesn't say what the letter code is. I didn't find your model # either it just says O/U shotguns. Hope this helps  Last edited by OkieHenry; 02-16-2008 at 12:14 AM. |
