Interpreting Lil Gun Date Code
Posted: Tue Sep 02, 2014 3:53 am
I got a text Friday night from a fellow member in the local rimfire BR league and avid reloader. I had told him I was looking for some Lil Gun, having exhausted my supply recently and reading that it was getting hard to find. He spotted a 4lb jug at one of the reloading shops around town. Needless to say, Saturday morning,I was at their door when the opened and left with the jug. Not sure how long they had it. Was just tickled I could get it.
Anyway, when I got home and looked at it, there was an orange sticker on the side bearing the following printing: 4 092403 39
Not knowing the key to interpreting it, I am left with assuming it is either 11 years old MMDDYY or if they use a more international date system, it might be 5 years old YYDDMM. Anyone know for sure how to interpret that code? Our eyes are trained to see dates in number sequences and possibly it is just a lot number with no date implied.
Thanks,
Hoot
