Mossberg Model 500 was introduced 1961 and is still in production.
Same issue in canada with the mossberg shotguns made at the canadian Lakefield plant, no. Favorite Answer Mossberg did not put serial numbers on any gun until after the Gun Control Act of 1968. Therefore it's pre-68, but if anyone knows a way to find production year out id love to know level 1. It's got a single action bar and some engraving in the receiver when it's closed, and no serial number. Is there anyway to look up the serial number and find what year my Mossberg 500A serial number is L170429. The serial number on the Mossberg 500 is on the left side of the receiver. Post subject: Mossberg 500-B Serial Number Location. I own many pre '68 Mossberg's with no serial numbers.
Serial numbers weren't required until 1968. The Mossberg 500 went into production in 1962.
