Rekraps Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 I know for certain that the "U" series guns (most of the ones out there) are non-military guns (police/civilian). I thought the military ones were "O" guns, but heck look what we have! Has the gun been welded? Very interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekraps Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 So I pulled both mine out of the gun room and the SN looks like this: MOD 76 Uxxxx. You gun does not even have the MOD 76 on it. Odd. Some guns were made for the CIA or SOG personnel in Vietnam. Could this be one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larryp44 Posted March 6 Author Report Share Posted March 6 Could it the (R) mean rifle….??? I’m about to SBR it… it’s doesn’t even have a model number or caliber stamped on it…. this is all it has….folding stock, 16” barrel…. Don’t know…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeRanger Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 (edited) You maybe should have mentioned that this wasn't a S&W 76. All the responses about "U" prefix S/Ns relate to the S&W guns and ONLY to them. Edited March 6 by StrangeRanger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewisfan Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 I think that MK Arms made "C" = carbine SNs, "S" = submachinegun SNs, and "P" = pistol guns. "R" for rifle would make sense. I'd have to go check Frank Iannamico's book since he has a good write up of all. At the end leading up to the MG manufacturing deadline, a lot of in-process guns being manufactured were finished as SMGs - regardless of the already designated serial numbers.
