Is that a fair offer for the 742? I heard from a gunsmith that told me that model has problems with jamming. The 742 has a scope and is as dirty as the. They have been stored in a garage that is open most of the time. I have been thinking of offering $150 for that one.

Where can I find a manual for the old gun? The same old man has a Remington 742 30.06 semiautomatic for sale too. I am guessing November 1961, but is that correct? I also would like to find a manual with details for disassembly and reassembly.

I am confused about the year of manufacture according to the code interpretation. I intend to strip the paint and try to reblue it. I only paid $50 for it and it shoots well. The gun barrel has been painted black, and not a good job at that. The model number and patents are on the top.

I can’t find a serial number, but there is an R and an H plus a symbol that looks like a 9 with the top half of the loop missing, all on the left side. 22 semiautomatic that shoots short, long, and long rifle. what do you think? Please leave me a comment. There are no publically accessible databases for Remington serial numbers. If a specific Remington firearm has a serial number, Remington Customer Service should always be the first source checked for date of manufacture as they would be the definitive source for that information. With that in mind, and considering a lot of variables. So it may be difficult at times to determine exactly what is what.
So, if the barrel is not original to the specific firearm in question the date code may be meaningless.Īlso, if there is a custom or aftermarket barrel installed it will not have these factory date codes.Ĭonfounding the issue a bit may be the fact that Remington Arms stamps their final inspector stamps and assembly (product) codes in the immediate area of the date codes.

If these additional pieces of information still do not clear up the year of manufacture, or if there is any confusion in general over date of manufacture/factory date codes, contacting Remington Customer Service with the firearms serial number will be required. After that one brings into play what is known of the history, such as the year first acquired. This sleuthing is accomplished in part by first determining the years that your specific firearm was manufactured. So a little sleuthing may have to be done to determine the exact year the firearm was manufactured.
NOTE – Some of these year letters repeat, as can be seen below. The next letter or letters will correspond to the year manufactured. These twelve letters correspond to the twelve months in a year, and are the month code.ī = January L = February A = March C = April K = May P = June O = July W = August D = September E = October R = November X = December The first character of the sequence will always be one of these letters: There will be a combination of two or three letters representing the month and year of manufacture. They are located on the left side of the barrel, just ahead of the receiver. These codes are fairly simple and straightforward to read. Or by using the factory date codes on the barrel of the firearm. That is by either contacting the good folks at Remington’s Customer Service section (link at bottom) with the serial number. There two ways that someone can determine the “Made On” date of their Remington firearm. Example of an actual barrel date code - RJ - stamped on a Remington model 870 Express shotgun barrel made in November 1989.
