i have a browning auto-5 "light twelve", the serial number on the reciever is 25670 with a small 5G above it. according to the browning website, that puts my gun at 1948.. then i read that "from 1958 on serial numbers were preceded by the date of manufacture, 8M = standard wieght for 1958, 8G = light wieght for 1958. so now im confused, what does the 5G above my serial number mean if they only started doing this post 1958? thanks.
