I'm pretty sure that isn't a julian date as that would be 12/01/1908.

I see that differently... I would have said the stock was manufactured in December of 1980.
That would also dovetail with the time Interarms was distributing the rifle...

[Ranch Dog]

Yeah, that would be reasonable. I don't quite get the fascination that many have with needing to know when a firearm was manufactured. To me, it is like needing to know when my hammer was manufactured. I have friends that feel the need and it drives them crazy if they don't know. I simply don't get it.

Obviously, it's not as important with a Rossi.

But if you go to sell an older, used Winchester, Colt, S&W, etc., you DANG well better know when it was manufactured!

(Besides, some of us come by that "need to know" honestly... We play old Martin guitars!)

[GasGuzzler]

It's older than mine. An obvious logical guess is December 1980.

I hope RD was joking.

None of my hammers are worth anything. I know the year of anything I have that is.

[Ranch Dog]

I hope RD was joking.

Not really. It is just immaterial to me when the my firearms were made unless I need that information for parts. I would take stock in something that was passed on to me but that value has nothing to do with a date of manufacture. I do have a hammer with that value, I use it in my reloading room, and what matters to me is who held it and not when it was made.

Don't mean any offense by it but just curious as to the why.

I guess I should add my new 20" .357



First Trip to the range, 25yds.

We drove out to Vegas a couple months ago. While cruising a dirt road in Arizona, I stopped for a photo op with my 16" 357.

Very nice photos!
