Springfield Armory Serial Look Up
Hey fellas. I signed up for this website hoping to talk to someone with savvy on the m14 rifle.
I inherited an older looking m14 rifle. I'm trying to determint e what it might be worth, as it is the type of gun i wouldnt have much use for.
It came with a US army manual dated 1972
there's a 20 shot clip typical of this rifle, and a nice wooden stock with not much wear and tear or scratches
Behind the rear sights are some markings which read : 'U.S. Rifle 7.62mm United States Section of the Milsurp Knowledge Library.', BGCOLOR, '#DDDDDD', BORDERCOLOR, '#000000', BORDERWIDTH, '1',FOLLOWMOUSE, 0, OFFSETX, -10, OPACITY, '95', FADEIN, '25', FADEOUT, '25', CLICKCLOSE, true,FOLLOWSCROLL, true, PADDING, 0, BALLOON, 1 ,ABOVE, false, TITLE1, 'United States - Milsurp Knowledge Library',LINKURL, 'https://www.milsurps.com/content.php?r=132-united-states', SHOWCLOSE, 0, BALLOONIMGPATH , 'autolinker/images/balloons/yellow'); microAjax('autolinker/autolinker_stats.php?uid=0&fid=108&t=v&kw=M14', function (res) {;});'>M14 H&R Arms Co, 71566'
Then another stamp on the bolt itself which reads: ' 7790186
8A Z3'
It's a decent shape, i doubt it has been used much. Does anyone know anything about this gun? I can't do much with it, but do not want to get ripped off if i sell it to a friend who has a license for a gun like this.
There are occasions when blocks of serial numbers have been manufactured out of sequence, sometimes years later. Also, within a model family the same serial number prefix may be used to produce a variety of different models, all in the same block of serial numbers.

Armscorp M14 Serial Numbers
Moderator, could we get this thread made as a sticky?
M14/M1A fans, let's put together a database of the dates M1A rifles were assembled at the factory. This information will go into the book M14 Rifle History and Development
Here's the requirements:
1) List the M1A serial number and the factory headspace tag date or the month and year SA, Inc. Customer Service says it was built.
2) You personally have to have read the serial number and date off the factory headspace tag or you personally corresponded with the Customer Service Department. No second hand reports.
