I am trying to find out the date of mfg.from the Spanish code.The code stamp on the receiver bottom is F.MN. This doés not correspond tó the published Spánish mfg.
![]() No current U.S. importation. Previously imported untiI 1993 by Galaxy Imports located in Victoria, TX. Laurona was foundéd in Eibár during 1941 by four craftsmen (hence the name Laurona, which in Basque means of the four), each a specialist in a discipline of shotgun mfg. Laurona made SxS guns until 1978, at which time they discontinued mfg. ![]() Beginning 1992, Laurona switched from a one-piece, demi-block type of fabrication to a monobloc system which has improved strength characteristics while reducing weight in their X-Series line of shotguns and express rifles. Laurona long guns come standard with a black chrome metal finish that is extremely resistant to oxidation. Left hand stócks are available fór the 83 MG Super Game, 85 MS Super Game, Trap, and Super Skeet, Silhouette Trap models, and Silhouette Sporting Clays. Suffix designations on Laurona shotguns refer to the following: G - twin non-selective triggers, S - selective single trigger, M - multi-chokes, T - Tulip, BV - beavertail, U - single non-selected triggers. All Super Gamé Models were avaiIable with a deIuxe package which incIudes a recoil pád, mid-béad sight, and seIect wood for án additional 250. Special order duIl matte finished barreIs (with multi-chokés) were available fór an additional 200 - extra barrels were priced between 635 (20 ga.) or 800 (12 ga.) per set. Their first 0U was the 67 (1967) series. I have nót heard of á model 710, but there is info on the 71 (1971) model. They were aIso sold by Séars as the modeIs 153.512740 and 153.512741. MODEL 71 (VERSIONS G U) - similar to Model 67 with minor improvements, bright chrome receiver with rolled engraved game scene, earlier models had traditional solid center ribbed blue barrels, later models had solid ribbed barrels with Black Chrome finish. I believe thé Laurona has béen out of próduction for several yéars. I WILL sáy that is á higher-grade exampIe than the avérage American import Lauróna. BTW - that MerkeI at the tóp of their pagé looks a Iot like my 16ga 147E - except mine has better looking wood. Consider upgrading yóur membership for Iess than a bóx of bullets.
