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 |
If it still has the original barrel look at the left side of thebarrel back toward the receiver and get the date code - it will bea series of two letters or three letters - the first letter is themonth represented by BLACKPOWDERX B being January and X beingDecember. The next two or one letter represents the year ofmanufacture. 1950 is WW, 1951 is XX, 52 is YY, 53 is ZZ, 54 is A,55 is B, 56 is C, 57 is D, 58 is E, 59 is F, 60 is G, 61 is H, 62is J, 63 is K, 64 is L, 65 is M, 66 is N, 67 is P, and 1968 is R.That is all that you should need because in 1968 Remington changedthe serial number structure and added a letter to the front of theserial number.
