The serial number should be at the rear right hand back side of the machine under the bed on the frame by the right tire. The throttle cable part number is RE30918.

A really comprehensive source of information is available on line at:
www.glossover.co.uk/amt/
Surf thru the site for lots of data ...... and you can download the owners manuals for nearly all the AMT firearms for FREE. This is the ONLY location I've found for production numbers too.
AMT started in California by Harry Stanford and they were mfg in Irwindale, ElMonte, Arcadia, and Covena. AMT did go thru several name changes as IAI, OMC, etc. for whatever reason. IT should also be noted that many believe Ruger sued and won a lawsuit against AMT over the AMT 22 Lightning semi-auto pistol (very similiar to the Ruger MK1) when, in fact, Mr. Ruger did not want to injure another firearm mfg so they worked out an agreement so AMT continued to mfg the AMT Lightning pistol.
Toward their 'end' in California, the name was changed to Galena Enterprises, Inc. Shortly thereafter they moved their operation to Sturgis South Dakota but went bankrupt about a year or so later. The actual bankruptcy sale bill is posted on the web site at www.glossover.co.uk/amt/ to view.
High Standard acquired the rights and equipment to mfg and market the AMT line of firearms. They are now in production and the line currently being produced is shown on line at: www.highstandard.com. Parts for those models currently being mfg are available from High Standard.
I trust some will find this information of use .... as much as I find information posted on this site of use too.

There's also a firearms company called AMT (I'm not sure what it stands for) that was bought by Galena Industries (which went out of business shortly after AMT did). I can't find any information online about AMT or Galena (quick Google search); are there any gun enthusiasts here that know more? The lack of concise info on the Internet would make this a useful article on Wikipedia, IMO.--Schultz.Ryan 02:27, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Well AMT Stands for Arcadia Machine Tools. They produced handguns, mainly stainless, in the early 1980's. They produced the AMT Backup series. A small stainless handgun in a variety of calibers. .45, .380, yes, .22LR (rare) and others. They also produced an automag, which I never saw. I have a .22LR AMT Backup. However the clip broke and now it is impossible to find a replacement.
AMT/Galena Industries[edit]
Around 2000 Galena Industries bought the name AMT and is was manufacturing the AMT hardballer, which has been tested to shoot sub one inch groups at 50 yards consistently and the reliability has been improved under Galena.
An excerpt from Patrick Sweeney's Book of 1911s:
For example, let’s say I am interested in knowing which of my followers are from Texas, but also have an interest in social media. 
Click on the column filter and “Text filters >> Contains”. Why stop at location, when we can also find out which of our followers have a certain interest. So let’s add one more filter to the “bio” column. Then select the “and” radio button, click the dropdown and select “contains” and type in “social media” into the input box.

'THe orginal AMT pistols were famous for two things: neing the first 1911 pistols made entirely of stainless steel and a spotty record of reliability:.
the newer Hardballers, if you can find them, are made in Sturgis, SD. THey have serial number GGAxxxxx, have standard Government Issue look with the exception of a adjustable target rear sight, smooth recoil spring plug, and a competition thumb safety.
AMT primarily used a process called 'Investment Casting' to produce their firearms (which were primarily stainless steel). This process produces an almost finished product much more cheaply than the more traditional methods of machining the parts from forgings or plate. It is the same process Ruger uses to produce the frames on their aluminum frame semi-auto pistols. They were able to produce the lowest cost 'stainless' pistols on the market this way.
They also made the *AMT 'BACKUP' series of double action only pistols until Nov. 2001.
These cannot be carried 'cocked' - or in other words, with the hammer spring compressed and hammer retracted. The BACKUP series of pistols rely on a trigger attached to a bar that engages the hammer, by pulling on the trigger. The hammer is retracted back while simultaneously compressing the hammer spring. It continues until it reaches the end of its travel. The hammer is then released forward, striking the firing pin assembly.
It takes 8 lbs. for the .380 ACP and 17 lbs. of pull for the .45 ACP model to fire, both have extremely long trigger pulls. There is not any 'safety' as the long, heavy pull of the trigger is sufficient enough to keep the pistol from 'accidentally' firing. The hammer is completely recessed (shrouded) in the pistol and all but impossible to strike by an outside force.

I have the recovery discs for WinXP MCE for a couple of OEM.
The pistols were reliable and operated as designed. Some models had to use a specified type of ammunition. The .45 ACP BACKUP for instance was designed for hardball ammunition only. People sometimes ignored this important bit of information provided in the manuals and then blamed the malfunctioning on the pistols.

They were basic and workmanship like appearance, no fancy polishing or machining, they weren't made for looking at, they were made for saving lives.
*AMT was an abbreviation of Arcadia Machine & Tool, Inc., located at 6226 Santos Diaz St., Irwindale, CA 91702
