Thinking of buying a Harper's Ferry Maynard repro carbine serial no. 250. Are these approved for competition and if not can they be submitted to SAC for use?
Thanks

If it is dated 1976, or later it is approved for use. If not, then it requires an individual approval from the SAC.

John,
I also have a second model Maynard from Harpers Ferry Arms, but there is no date on it. There is a serial number on the barrel. Where would I find the manufacture date for this? Thanks

I guess there is no one from the SAC reading this stuff.
Hello civilwarlife
The question you asked was answered by John Holland who is the Chairman of the SAC.

Hope this clears up your question. Depending on what region your team is in you can find a SAC person that can guide you through the process. This information is located on the N-SSA main site @ www.N-SSA.org

Wayne, is there any way to just look and determine when the weapon was made? that I think is the issue.. there is no way other than inspecting it, which is not a biggie, but would be nice to have an idea, like with the italian proof marks on the barrels as to the date of manufacture.

Dave I don't have the answer to the break point on HFA serial numbers , but I will get you the answer. Thanks Wayne Shaw 1985V
Dave The answer your looking for is this. Since these carbines were made in several batches over several years. The National BOD working with the SAC set the date of 1976 and later dates as the only approved carbines. The serial numbers on these carbines are random and don't gee up with years. Simplely if the carbine is not year stamped on the right side of the receiver 1976 or later it's not approved. If you have one that's not stamped you will need to have the SAC check it out and issue you a card. I hope this helps. Wayne Shaw 1985V SAC
Wayne, that is the info i was looking for. Thank you

Here I go out on a limb with these H.F's,,,,,,, first never say Harper's Ferry and Maynxxx in the same sentence. OK,,,,,,it's been my experience that every one I've encountered ABOVE serial #187 is a carbine that would pass the SAC and I've had maybe 25 or better. And no.......I don't shoot them. I dump them on the reenactors message board.
