M-25s were made for 6 years(49-54) with pretty closr to an equal amount made each year except for the last(fewest)...Made approx 88,000 of them. Can't remember how they were serialized ie their own serials or serialized in M-12 serialized but have a recollection their own serial numbers. Not a very popular gun as it was a M-12 but it wasn't trying to compete pricewise to the 870 ...didn't work. some internal parts interchange w/M-12s IIRC. I had one or 2 but found they were not as smooth as the M-12 and also didn't work well with plastic shells when they came on the scene....neither did the Win M-50 auto and I liked them and shot 'em quite a bit. ... M-25 and M-12 featherweights were losers from the beginning in the marketing wars
