Years ago while in Rapid City, SD, I noticed that the Cooper rifles on display in their store there, that had been built specifically for Scheels, all had serial numbers that began with "Scheels" followed by a two or three digit number.
Example: ScheelsXX -BCB

Hello fellas
I’ve been trying to get some information on my Cooper rifle. Unfortunately from talking to Cooper they’re informed me that all the records have been destroyed. That seems odd but anyway the serial number is G 81. Is there anyway to figure out when this gun was built from the serial number? Also the guy I bought it from claims it has a Shilen barrel from Cooper is there anyway for me to confirm that? I’m in the process of purchasing the trigger that he said came with the gun and claims that it is a Jewel. How can I identify the trigger when I see it since I’ve never looked at one for a Cooper. I’ve heard that some of these rifles came through with Shilen barrels and Jewel triggers. Does the serial number of my gun line up with the time period when these pieces were used? Thanks for any information you can provide. Kevin |

Yes mine has a stainless barrel it’s a model 21 in 17 Mach IV.

Yes it is probable that your Cooper was fitted with a Shilen barrel, the G indicates it's a 17 MachIV and the 81 means it was the 81st right hand 17 MachIV made (that is if I have interpreted what Dan said correctly) The model 21 started production in 1994 and I think they started using 2 letter prefixes which I think was in 1998, so I would guess it is dated between those years...……..Kiwi |

Kiwishooter, I can verify that, as I bought my M21 in 221FB new in December of 1998, and it has the two letter serial number.

the 221 Fireball letter was "E" which would appear they added "V" but I wonder if the numerical number was just a continuation of the previous numbers? ie E288 as the last 221 Fireball with a single letter prefix and VE289 as the next 221 Fireball built...…..Kiwi |

Kiwishooter, I don't know for sure, but I would bet they restarted the numbering sequence with two letter VE. My rifle is VE16, and I bought it just before Christmas in 1998.

Your numbers would verify what you are thinking, thanks for that information...…....Cheers Kiwi
