The following letters correspond to the months of the year Month Codes: [first letter] B - L - A - C - K - P - O - W - D - E - R - X 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 11 - 12 Year:---------Code: [second and/or third letters] 1930----------Y 1931----------Z 1932----------A 1933----------B 1934----------C 1935----------D 1936----------E 1937----------F 1938----------G 1939----------H 1940---------- J 1941---------- K 1942---------- L 1943---------- MMZ 1944---------- NN 1945---------- PP 1946---------- RR 1947---------- SS 1948---------- TT 1949---------- UU 1950---------- WW 1951---------- XX 1952---------- YY 1953---------- ZZ 1954---------- A 1955---------- B 1956---------- C 1957---------- D 1958---------- E 1959---------- F 1960---------- G 1961---------- H 1962---------- J 1963---------- K 1964---------- L 1965---------- M 1966---------- N 1967---------- P 1968---------- R 1969---------- S 1970---------- T 1971---------- U 1972---------- W 1973---------- X 1974---------- Y 1975---------- Z 1976---------- I 1977---------- O 1978---------- Q 1979---------- V 1980---------- A 1981---------- B 1982---------- C 1983---------- D 1984---------- E 1985---------- F 1986---------- G 1987---------- H 1988---------- I 1989---------- J 1990---------- K 1991---------- L 1992---------- M 1993---------- N 1994---------- O 1995---------- P 1996---------- Q 1997---------- R 1998---------- S 1999---------- T 2000---------- U 2001---------- W 2002---------- X Using barrel codes (such as those listed above) to date the manufacture are reliable on Remington rifles, as the company rarely changed barrels on a customer's rifle. Using these barrel codes to date a shotgun is somewhat unreliable, as shotgun barrels are often interchanged at random. One needs to be sure that the barrel is original to the gun before trusting the Barrel Code listing, above. (*) On 8/9/99, stopped stamping the barrels with the date code. They continued to mark the date code on the end flap of the shipping box. They resumed stamping the date code on the barrel on 10/1/01. Also http://oldguns.net/sn_php/remdates.php |
FIREARMS INFORMATION
REMINGTON MANUFACTURING DATE CODE
stamped on LH top rear of barrel, 2 or 3 digit, (month first, year after) these will normally only be the last letters as seen below,
with the whole list shown here ONLY if it had been returned for repairs
The anchor shown here with the date code is just a symbol, as many different inspector marks will be seen
The above information was taken from Remington's own information sheet, so if your gun may not conform, then I am also at a loss in explaining.
The factory says all barrels are date code stamped, well I have found some that are not, or if they are, are so erratic stamping that trying to decipher them is impossible.
The photos below may help a bit. Both were taken off Remington 760s, with the one on the left, a 30-06 that I bought new October 10, 1954. This has been rebored to a 35 Whelen Improved. The one on the right again a 30-06, but with a shorter barrel that I made into a knock around quad rifle with pivot mounts.
Here the R represents November, & the ZZ would be 1953. The fourth digit being a 3 is inconsequential being an assembly number. There is no inspector mark on this side. | Here the first (LH) mark is the final inspector mark, the O represents July, the R would be 1968. And the F again being an assembly number. |
