Your rifle was built in Jan. of 1980, that being the final year of production for the 760s. That is the "BA". Ahead of that is the final inspector and the 59 is the assembler. On the right side are the proof and test markings.

Large file size is a common problem with cell phones.
You need to download the picture to your home computer, send it to Paint, reformat it in a smaller size and then send it to this forum - if you want to post pictures. NP with not being able to post pictures, we have probably seen every model of Gamemaster ever made at one time or another.
Nothing special about a 1980 - except it being near the last year of production. Had Dupont not gotten out of the gun making business, we never would have had the plastic fantastic black rifles and shotguns we have today.. I think the RKW High Gloss finish was the nicest rifles ever made, but my opinion is biased.
