Title: Bear take down info needed
Post by: Timberking on January 29, 2013, 10:12:00 PM

Hey folks,
I have a Bear magnesium handled take down. Inside my riser there is stamped B-8372 so it's a "B" riser 55 at 28 but what does the 8372 mean? What year would this have been manufactured? Any and all info is appreciated.

Nice bow and weight!

8372 would be the serial number, my B-Mag is 6765 with red tip limbs and going off of other serial numbers mine appears to be a late '73 so I'm guessing '73-'74 for yours.

Great shooters too!
