I don't think the serial numbers can be used to indicate age.

If you look to the right of the trigger, let when looking towards the grip, you'll see the cover for the trigger mechanism.

This is easier to see with the grip off. Earlier models were clear, later models an opaque white. Later models also have a shorter trigger assisting screw and slightly differing lettering.

Unfortunately, that's all I know.

Kind regards,

Thanks Phil, mine has the opaque cover and the trigger adjusting screw is the short one which is too short to do anything.

There is slightly less than a mm in it, and similar screws can be picked up on ebay and trimmed to the appropriate length.

Unless, of course, you are happy with the trigger.

This will be a good gun to use in the proposed 6 Yard MPL postal competition, which is in the final stages of completion.

Kind regards,

I have striped down the trigger mechanism and smoothed and polished all the moving parts this has made a big difference but the trigger is still a bit heavier than my beeman p 17, I will replace the trigger adjusting screw with a longer one and maybe put lighter springs in it.
