Does anyone know how long JC Penney sold shotguns? I have one made by AyA of Spain, no idea when it was made.
 
LRDGCO,

These are all the markings on it, except another matching serial number on the forearm hardware. Nothing inside where the barrel locks up.
 
Using the table provided by 243winxb, THANKS and using some arithmetic and assumptions, I calculated that this particular shotgun was made in April 1971.

By dividing the total production of 5 years by 5 years, I get an number made per year. (31,209) Then, when I get the number range for the year, I divide by 12 months, and get 2,601 made per month.

My assumptions are that an equal number of guns were made each year, and each month.

Unable to figure in factory closings for holidays, etc. so it’s still a bit of a guess, but a calculated one.
