- This is my first post on this forum. I just found out about the month/year codes on Remington rifles on this site. I have a.22 model 581 rifle that I purchased new in May of 1972. I was curious as to the actual date of manufacture, so I looked at the barrel. The serial number is 10424XX.
- Remington Model 700 Serial Number Lookup: A serial number is printed on the receiver of each Remington rifle or shotgun, provided it's a newer model. Serial numbers were not a requirement until 1968, so older firearms may not have serial numbers. You can still use the two-letter code on the barrel. Dec 29, 2009 Archive Serial # range for 40x's?

Remington Owners,
Remington Year of Manufacture Codes maybe found on the barrel of your Remington rifle [or shotgun] 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. 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.
According to the 'Blue Book of Gun Values', the coding continues as follows:
Month Codes: [first letter]

* the years 1943 though 1953 had double letters: ie, MM = 1943
As maybe seen, the year code letters duplicate; some knowledge of when the model was introduced should resolve the actual year of manufacture.
