John, Daisy started producing the 1938 Red Ryder in 1972. Your registration # indicates it was produced before Daisy started a new registration system in November 1972, where the letter indicated the month and the next numbers indicated the year.

Not at all wanting to contradict here, but according to Joe Murfin the No. 1938 Red Ryder Carbine was actually one of the few Daisys that used a "REG. NO." that the year could be read similar to the later "LOT NO.".
That would make this gun as having been stamped in 1976. Typically, a '76 Model No. 1938 would have the stock logo on the right side of the stock, it would use phillips head screws and have a lever like shown below. Reading the month is less certain because all of the 1974 and newer No. 1938s have a "K" prefix with only one exception I have seen which is Reg. No. A530751. So either they were all stamped during the month of October, or they had not yet begun to use the prefix for the month. |
