I was told it might be a proto type for 1963.It was explained that it was made in 1962 to be sent out to dealers for testing.I read somewhere that 1963 kodiaks were rare because they broke.Something about a dogleg.

It is a Type III '63 Kodiak Magnum. The 1963 type I broke and was replaced with the type II. The type II also were prone to breakage and replaced with the type III. Hard to find a type I or type II. Not so much a type III.

It is the shape of the risers, here is a type III and type II . The type I had even less limb mated to the riser. Posts: 1210 | From: Michigan | Registered: Mar 2008

I think that type III is okay to shoot. I don't know if the serial numbers are known on the different types or not. You can tell it is a 1963 from the shape.
