Good morning all. I have a custom Model 66 by Clark Customs. the S/n is 9k36xxx (this number is from the yoke, couldn't find any other numbers)

Just wondering about year of manufacture.

Thanks!

Likely 1976

Update - 9K serial number information gathered since the printing of the SWCA suggests 1977 . . . see post #5

How about some more pic's. Anything Jim Clark Sr built was top notch.

Sweet score. Be sure and shoot it , anything from Clark's Custom shop is sure to be an amazing shooter.
I have only one pistol , a Ruger MKII 22 LR , from them....shooting it puts a smile on my face and a song in my heart...they must install a bit of magic in them . You're going to enjoy the experience !
More pic's please !

If you remove the stocks, you will find the serial number stamped into the bottom of the grip frame. It should match the number on the frame behind the yoke that you photographed.

If you don't reload order some 148 grain wadcutters from Precision Delta and save the Starline brass. They should shoot great and you can sell the top notch brass.
Let's see some more photos of your PPC gun.

Also there is a J in a circle and U in triangle on opposite siege of grip frame. Number on bottom of grip frame and crane is 9K36284.

Also a C1 and G2 on the side of grip frame with the five digit number

The serial number is 9K36284 . . . the five digit number is an assembly (aka process control) number used by the factory during manufacturing . . . and the other marks are either fitter or inspector marks. Only the serial number has meaning after it left the factory.
