    SN list for Sears Ted Williams Model 53?

    Have a Model 53 Ted Williams, and I recognize it as being a M70 variant.

    Any idea as to location of SN versus manufacturing date list, to be found?

    Look similar to my 1972 M70, but have a "U" SN.

    Thanks.

    I would think that the serial numbers would be the same series as regular M-70's. The U may designate sale to sears. You would have to write Win. to get an answer.
    You can never go home again.

      does it have the pre-64 style controlled round feeding & extractor or the newer later style...... similar to the Rem 700, M14 etc?

        it has the "pusf feed" bolt,

        with the slotted bolt lug.

        similar to my 1972 M70 with the "G" SN,

        Have a first series post-64 M70 that has NO "alpha" prefix to the SN and no slotted bolt lug.

        Stock is non-walnut, looks like a early M670 variant???

        Will try Numrich if they have info, not expecting any response from Sears holding, Inc.

          Did you mean TW Model 73 rather than Model 53??
