A quick call to Remington Customer Service - link provided in the above blog should confirm date of manufacture. The code for date of manufacture is PY. That seems to be June of Both serial number on receiver and barrel are the same — 56, But also to the left of that original code number and a little higher up on the barrel is a code of 0ZZ with a small 3.
Could that mean the gun was back at the factory for some repair work in ? Rob62 : L. K, please post your question in the general Remington section of the forums along with a couple clear close up pictures of these stamps for the best chance at getting a correct answer. Rob62 : Thanks for your comment Don A. Rob62 : Tjmccarthy the "78" is a factory assembly or manufacturing code.
These codes are used internally at the manufacturing facility Ilion, NY, in your case for the production process. Remington has never released the exact meaning behind these codes - exactly what they stood for other than that. Spencer : Mine says "RK 39". Rob62 : Spencer - your model was made in either November , or November Did you see the above blog?

If you start a thread in the general Remington section of the forums showing clear pictures of the actual rifle we may be able to offer opinions as to which of the two years it is. Heartshot : I just bought a GameMaster in Savage. The date code stamp is a smaller "L" followed by a slightly larger "AA".

The serial number is Rob62 : Hello Heartshot, At times the factory date codes make no sense or are impossible to decipher due to miss-strikes or other issues. Robert Brennan : So what if you are looking up a rifle that was made before when the date codes start?

And in many cases pinning down exact date of manufacture will be very difficult if not impossible. Megan : Hello I have a Remington that has a star symbol stamped on the left side of the barrel. What does that mean? As far as I know Remington never published a list of exactly what those different codes meant.
Megan : Thanks Rob. As far as the date stamp it seems to say CL which I think means it was made in April I actually found another thread in reference to the Remington Model 51 pistol that seems to be the only mention of the sun stamp: "Most Model 51s will have a small anchor stamped on the right side of the trigger guard, inside the slide in the hammer well, and inside the frame just below where the barrel sits—these are inspection stamps.
A very few have a sun instead of an anchor—these are rare. Supposedly the sun stamp was used in and Megan : Alternatively it could be from There are no "scope grooves" and I read on another forum those were introduced around Is that accurate?

Does anyone know what the rectangle with the diagonal at the end of the barrel date code denotes? The final character I assume may be manufacturing grade coding. Does this look familiar to anyone?
Rob62 : You are correct in that it is some type of internal production, assembly, or service code. Joss Burger : Thank you for sharing your knowledge Rob I wonder and you might perhaps have an idea of this how many factories there were back in This last character might indeed designate something as simple as a specific production line i.
