Info Required.

Had a bit of a look around and decided this was the best place to post this request, as this firearm has been discussed several times and I know several members have one.

I have been collating information on the Sportco/Omark model 44 for a long time now, but recently when using the gathered notes I have noticed a few gaps that interfere with the timeline.

What I require from members is just the serial number of their firearm, not interested in dates or type, as this rifle would be unlikely to be in it's original configuration.
Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Kev.

Thanks Ned, the change from DL to SDL was at the 500 mark, just need a couple of close DL'S to clear that one up.

Where would SDO628 fit in?

"sd n605"

If you like I'll write some down at the range this afternoon, would 10-15 more help?

DB737, DE822, DH892 and SDP956. Nothing close to what you're looking for sorry :thdown:

Sure would Tbone, the more the merrier and maybe a step closer to the answers.

DA382 (heavy barrel, no handguard)

Di322 sdm444 sdp875

Thanks Oramac, I was beginning to think having this post moved here was a total loss, other websites are pulling well, but this has hardly moved considering the amount of members here who have these rifles.

Perhaps the title of the thread wasn't specific enough?

The early "Sportco" branded 44s appear to have come in three serial number blocks:

DK followed by three digits
DL followed by three digits
SDU followed by three digits.

No info on quantities or dates of changes of number blocks.

Also, not sure yet what happened after Omark industries took over completely.

I have two of these beasties: one is a 44 in original trim but with the retro-fitted larger pin in the bolt, and a "Lane" rearsight. The other is a 44D, set up with a scope and a 22" Black Mountain barrel in a Neillsen adaptor for metallic silhouette.

Both shoot quite nicely. When I get home, I'll have a look at the numbers.

Appreciate that Bruce.
