Hello Fellow Tradgangers,
I just picked up a new bow today, well new to me that is. Just want some imput on the year.  I was thinking it was a 62', since the serial number begins with a 2, but then I read that they didn't have the stripe/laminated riser until 64'. As you can see it's a curve stripe.  The grip is nicely rounded unlike my mid 70's k-mags and feels great in the hand. The glass is gray and in great shape.  There is a threaded bushing w/plug in the side of the riser, opposite of the shelf. I think its factory but unsure. I have seen other k mags with them but I am unsure if its factory or not? any opinions.
I really love the wood coloring, What kind of wood is it?  And I really love the #65lb draw weight.  Looking forward to putting some venison in the freezer with this bow some day.
Here are the stats incase you can't see them in the pics.

its not a 62,it looks like a 67 but the serial number is not right.bowdoc will no.

I think it is a '65; the 66 and 67 did not have green glass.
But the 67 1/2 had green glass too......... Serial numbers take a bit of a back seat.

So would this bows glass be considered green or grey?  And any thoughts on what type of wood the riser is made of?

I would need to go with a 64'. The 65 serial # would start with 5 as far as I know. I have what I believe are two of each years. That is, unless the information I go by isn't entirely correct?

The woods on the riser look like a 66 but the tips and glass more like a 64-65,the serial num if it is original is for a 64.Really interesting,maybe a pre serie,66?

That is what I was thinking.  Thanks for all the info. The wealth of knowledge on this site is awesome.

Anyone by chance know what the threaded insert in the side of the riser is for? And if it is factory? I have seen other k mags with them in the same place but most don't seem to have it.  Only thing i could think that would go down there would be a quiver mount of some type.

I would echo what the others have said, also gray glass = 64, green glass = 65. Yours is gray, 1964. CKruse

The 1964 is my favorite year, curved stripe and gray glass.

Must say that I am pretty fond of it myself
