Does anyone know when serial numbers were required to be stamped on firearms? I have a Springfield 86C .22 RF rifle that has no serial number on it and I have looked everywhere on this rifle including removing the stock. It was handed down to me from my grandmother who got it from her father at the age of 9. That would be in 1930 +/- a year or so. She is still with us. She told me that he bought it from someone in the Oklahoma oil fields years before that. The rifle shoots lights out and is still one of my favorites to shoot. I'm trying to find a value on it.( It is not going anywhere). I'm just trying to find some history on it. Thanks, Tony
