I just bought a 12 ga Deerslayer serial number 170710 the barrel and receiver have matching numbers. I am trying to find out the year it was made, did the deerslayer have a separate serial number range?

Your serial number puts the gun at 1948, well before the deer slayer was introduced. You gun was likely sent back to the factory at some point to have the barrel fitted. Some where out there is a shot barrel with that serial number on it. There was not a specific serial number block for deerslayer guns.

I appreciate your response, i thought it was 1948 but i also knew that the deerslayer didn't get introduced till 1959 so i wasn't sure of the history of the gun. Thanks
