Interesting note I've found from PTW forum
personally I found an issue with this...
Redwolf's picture on a Supermax M4 says:4847110
M
4-200
8-Unit#
471-
10 (October)
Supermax didn't start until 2011 AFAIK

Second/two digit "8-9-10-11" means the year the body was produced.
Three digits follow is the batch or lot number that the unit was produced, if it says "100", that just mean your unit was 100th unit of that year.
Last/two digit "1-12" would mean the month of that year that the unit was produced.
Example:
4824207 = Model M4 variant, 2008 Production body, 242th unit of that year, and made in July of 2008.
Like Tackleberry stated, motor housing would have another unique set of serial number, and the concept also applies there.
