ThanksДЄll the codes above refer to the barrel codes, not the serial number.ДЎ950 TO APPROX 1968:NO SERIAL NUMBER PREFIXДЎ968 TO PRESENT: LETTERS USED (IN SEQUENCE) I'm trying to figure out when it was made and from what I read on a site it stated the first letter would be the month and then the first two numbers would be the year (so mine would be Feb 1979?!?).

When the Depression hit in 1929 no one could sell any new guns and things fell apart. Remington never used the year of the first production as a model number, however it has since become common practice to do so. Semmer as published in THE GUN REPORT, July & August 1991.
