Farley Firefly Question

[RCE1]

I have a lovely Farley Firefly in .17Ackley. I was wondering where to look for the serial number. Is it on the top, beneath the scope mounts? Otherwise, I couldn't find it and didn't want to pull the mounts if I didn't have to.

Thanks.

That is a beautiful rifle in a great caliber for ‘chucks,crows and pd’s.
I hope you keep it forever,if you don’t I know a guy.
Witnessed my friend kill a pd at 502 yards with his 17 Ackley Cooper in Nebraska, it was at its limit for sure nothing exciting just a flop over dead.A couple guys bet he couldn’t do it first shot,big mistake on their part.
Serial #17 sure is a bonus btw as well as RBLP

I have never seen one in person, but looking at pictures, the only markings I could see were on the top strap.... but it wasn't the S/N.
Have you removed the action from the stock to look below? Definitely is not in the conventional spots.

As it turns out, the number on the top strap IS the serial number. I thought that it was part of the chambering designation the rest of which was beneath the scope ring base. Just didn't look like a serial number to me.

I own that Firefly pictured above SN 20. Another friend who lives in Nevada owns Firefly SN 21, unless you recently purchased his rifle. Mine is a R/R, his is a R/L with a HV barrel. Both actions were custom ordered from Jim Farley 30+ years ago with the hornet bolt face, coned bolt. I only knew of 2 in existence as you may own #3 (if it’s not 21). Both rifles were built by the same builder out of Childress, TX as mine has a #5 contour barrel. Such a pleasure to shoot and stupid accurate. I use mine to shoot crows, coyotes, and jackrabbits. PM me if you need any other info.
