Come on guys....below is a thread I authored (my first post on DBS) and (modestly) it is THE definitive thread on Reilly in all of shotgundom... Take a look at the 3rd post - history of Reilly...and the 5th.-15th etc...chronological list of Reilly serial numbers which allows pretty precise dating of the guns. If you've got a JC Reilly Serial Number, I'd really like to see it and photos...or better yet post it on this thread. Many thanks.
