In 1961, the codes for caliber were changed:

Example: 8T1000 = A 1968 22 Long Rifle Caliber Semi-Auto Rifle with serial number 1000.

E=Short Rifle Caliber
1969-73

1969 started using two digits for the date of manufacture: type of Auto-5:
T=Long Rifle Caliber
E=Short Rifle Caliber

This was then followed by the serial number beginning with 1000.
Example: 69T1000 = A 1969 22 Semi-Auto rifle in 22 Long Rifle Caliber with a serial number of 1000.

Nice sight but fit too lose but I made it work. It was for a 1969 Belgium model and I think the newer Japan models are slightly smaller.

Great price and fast shipping and great price.If you need a rear sight for a Browning take down or a Norinco ATD .22 take down this is the for a replacement . And its a fold down sight. I Mated the rifle with a Leopold # 265778 Base and a # 520693 1" Rings. This way the rear sight does not need to be removed with this base. Use the screws that came with the rifle done. Other sight bases, the rear sight needs to be removed so your stuck with only one option. Rich G

Easy installation and a good snug fit on my 1971 Belgium made SA 22. No filing required. I heard the Belgian dovetails could be too large for the two screw folding sight, but this model fit mine very well.
