Do certain mags work in certain BARS? I was told that I need to get a mag that was made for my year gun.
That is true. I have a NIB one here somewhere for a '06 but I'll have to put my hands on it to tell you what years it fits, etc. I ordered it for someone a few years ago and I ordered the wrong one..same reason. If you can pm me tomorrow, I'll see if I can figure out where I hid it.
I need one for a 7 mag. But I don’t know what year my gun was built. I tried looking it up and as close as I can tell it was made in 91
Browning could tell you based on the serial number. I have a couple older models around late 80s. They use a different mag than the newer lightweight BARs. Not sure about the dates tho.
Nearest I can tell the type 1 mags fit models built from 1967-1992. Type 2 are from 1993 to present. Can't say it's 100% accurate but it's just what I remember when I bought additional mags for my guns. They are type 1 mags for mine.
there is a company- midwest gunworks- they have a wealth of info on their page about bars- how to know manufacture date- parts diagrams ect and they sell the parts- google them- it should help you out-- it did me
