Mossberg 500a shotgun with no serial number...
- Thread starter bulump

When i registered my granddads springfield .22 it had no serial # since it was too old to even have one. They issued me a new # and mailed me a little sticker with it to stick to the rifle. I didn't, but it is registered. they asked caliber, barrel length, action, etc. Hope that helps.

If it was made after 1968 ( US gun control act) it has to have a serial # to be imported or made and sold in the US. Most firearms conmpanies had serial #'s before that though. Mossberg 500s were introduced in 1961 so it's possible that some were made without serial #s.

Mossberg, Stevens, Savage , Cooey and probably others as well did not put serial numbers on their firearms until US law mandated it in 1968, as was mentioned above. I have owned several with no serial number, and as was also mentioned earlier, the CFC will issue you a "Firearm Id Number" and a sticker with that number on it to attach to the gun. In my experience they don't stay stuck on for long. The CFC will send you replacement stickers though if you request them. They once re-issued me duplicates of all of mine because I was having issues with them falling off and wanted spares.
