* the years 1943 though 1953 had double letters: ie, MM = 1943Īs maybe seen, the year code letters duplicate some knowledge of when the model was introduced should resolve the actual year of manufacture. While examining them I noticed the Serial Numbers are at least twice as big as the older serial numbers and started with RR. and 30-06 for 596 each, over 100 below current dealer. I noticed the local Walmart had 2 Remington 700 BDL's in. For shotguns with removeable barrels, the code will be valid for the manufacture of the barrel maybe for the receiver, as barrels do get switched around.Īccording to the 'Blue Book of Gun Values', the coding continues as follows:ī - L - A - C - K - P - O - W - D - E - R - Xġ - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 11 - 12 Remington 700 Serial Numbers I have not bought a new Remington 700 for years.
Remington Year of Manufacture Codes maybe found on the barrel of your Remington rifle on the left side, just forward of the receiver the first letter of the Code is the month of manufacture, followed by one or two letters which are the year of manufacture. Every thing I find pertains to the date codes on the barrels, not the serial number on the receiver.
