I have the following 110L rifles and was wanting to get the year of manufacture for each.

110L 25677
110PL 44357
110L 44481
110L 57136
110L 69258

For pre-69 110s, you won't get year of manufacture from serial number. Need to look at barrel stamp, oval circle with two digits and a letter inside. The digits were the inspector and the letter denotes year of manufacture. The very first 110s had an "I" date stamp which is 1957, 1958 was "J", etc.
