Dating a Magnesium riser

[Ken Sorg]

Do you use the second number of the ID for the year made?????? ie...."B" 8478. I got a nice one off egay and would like to know more about it. From going over the catalog, I'm thinking it is a 74 model. On a side note I have a sight plate with pin in working order I'd like to trade for just a blank plate for the B riser in question.

The Mag risers started in about '71 I think.  Using the first digit in the numbeer to date  Bear bow ended in '69.  Somebody like Bowdoc or Al reader might be able to help you, but I can't.

I think I married her mother in 1968.  Got my freedom in 1973.  She was COLD, but she grew to be "UGLY" too.  She would have been about an "A" riser, but #3 limbs.  Long and lankey.
