My AMT is a good one and a definite keeper. It's an early one with A26xxx serial number , marked Covina , CA. The stainless steel seems hard , it doesn't have any peening or wearing in places that would normally show wear from soft steel .
I've had it so long I forgot when I bought it.
I find it strange I can/have found the serial numbers and dates of mfg. for every gun , including an 1868 Manhatten Arms cap and ball revolver, but can't find any info on serial numbers and dates for AMT Hardballers !
Anyone one out there know where this info can be found ? I will buy a book , not looking for free online info only... just looking for more info than what's on wikipedia , they have basic history but no serial number and dates .
