Browning's website has a place where you can get serial number info for each model

i believe he may be talking about the 22atd thats the only belgium made browning i know of. it a semi auto 22 that loads through the but and ejects out the bottom. the gun is in to pieces and it splits right where the barrel and the reciever meet. nice little gun i dont personally have a browning but i have a norinco interarms one that is the exact same.

After researching the issue...
I believe it is a Belgian made Browning FN Mauser that was produced between 1960, (the first year they were made for Browning), and 1969, (the codes for brownings serial numbers were rewrittenin 1969,then again in 1976,and DD's serial numbers do not matcheither code.
If anyone could confirm this info I would appreciate it.

I think you are talking about the BAR semi-auto I bought he first one that came in to Ottawa, Canada in the 60s late in 30.06 after sighting in hunted one day with it and tried shooting firing pin was broke, returned it the next day. they didn,t have a replacement and offered me the only other one for $20 extra in 7mm mag,my brother and I each shot a dear with the 7mm, the next summer I sold it as it was rather a heavey gun, the fellow who bought it had the same proplem firing pin, took him a long time to get it fixed
