What dash number is your LS? The book does not show but one pre-fix starting with V and apparently it was only for the M647. There is a note about modern serial numbers at the end of the 3 letter pre-fix list that talks about dating a gun by the fired cartridge that comes with some guns. Do you have the box with the fired cartridge?
Maybe one of the other guys have more info.

Thank you for your time

M65-7 started in 2002 and the -8 came in 2005.

What does the 647 mean on the crane because it is stamped M65-7?

 

[bamabiker]

Other numbers or letters are assembly marks used by the factory to keep parts together while making the gun. I think it's a coincidence that your's has a V serial number and 647 stamped on the crane.
The M647 is a 17 HMR caliber gun.
