Anyone have a 1912? I can't find the serial anywhere on the receiver.
Thanks.

That's OK. They're patent dates.

JonJ, M12's have the serial number on the bottom of the receiver right where you would grab it to carry it around. The barrel/magazine assembly has a number right next to the number on the receiver. The numbers should be the same but the type could be different. If you find the serial number let me know I'll look it up in Dave Riffles book and give you the date of manufacture, etc. John

Thanks guys. I just found a bulge in the barrel too. Looks like this one may be destine for the junk heap.
