A: Generally yes for Ithaca 49, but factory cleanouts sometimes shipped early receivers late. Use feature checkpoints to confirm.

Firearms manufactured before the Gun Control Act of 1968 were not legally required to have serial numbers; consequently, many early Model 49s may have no serialization at all. Manufacturing Eras (1961–1979)

Prior to the passage of the Gun Control Act (GCA) of 1968 , American manufacturers were not legally required to stamp serial numbers on rimfire rifles. If your Ithaca Model 49 completely lacks a serial number on the receiver, barrel, or frame, it was reliably manufactured between 1961 and 1967 .
