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 Remington Society', the coding continues as follows:Month Codes: [first letter]B - L - A - C - K - P - O - W - D - E - R - X1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 11 - 12Year:______Code: [second and third (*) letters]1930_______ Y1931_______ Z1932_______ A1933_______ B1934_______ C1935_______ D1936_______ E1937_______ F1938_______ G1939_______ H1940_______ J1941_______ K1942_______ L1943_______ MM (*)1944_______ NN (*)1945_______ PP (*)1946_______ RR (*)1947_______ SS (*)1948_______ TT (*)1949_______ UU (*)1950_______ WW (*)1951_______ XX (*)1952_______ YY (*)1953_______ ZZ1954_______ A1955_______ B1956_______ C1957_______ D1958_______ E1959_______ F1960_______ G1961_______ H1962_______ J1963_______ K1964_______ L1965_______ M1966_______ N1967_______ P1968_______ R1969_______ S1970_______ T1971_______ U1972_______ W1973_______ X1974_______ Y1975_______ Z1976_______ I1977_______ O1978_______ Q1979_______ V1980_______ A1981_______ B1982_______ C1983_______ D1984_______ E1985_______ F1986_______ G1987_______ H1988_______ I1989_______ J1990_______ K1991_______ L1992_______ M1993_______ N1994_______ O1995_______ P1996_______ Q1997_______ R1998_______ S1999_______ T (**)2000_______ U (**)2001_______ V (**)2002_______ W2003_______ X2004_______ Y2005_______ Z2006_______ A2007_______ B2008_______ C2009_______ D2010_______ E2011_______ F2012_______ G2013_______H(*) the years 1943 though 1953 had double letters: ie, MM = 1943(**) On 8/9/99, Remington stopped stamping the barrels with the date code. The date code was marked only on the end flap of the shipping box. Remington resumed stamping the date code on the barrel on 10/1/01. Only Remington can give an owner a DOM for a gun from this era, that carries no date code - via the gun's serial number.Since letters have obviously been repeated, it's vital to know when your Remington model was introduced/discontinued.._________________['CriscoKid', alias: Fat in the Can]Last edited by CriscoKid on Sun Mar 10, 2013 2:46 pm, edited 7 times in total.TopPost subject: Re: Remington's Manufacturing Date Codes*Proud to be a*Joined: Mon May 19, 2008 8:20 pmPosts: 13850Location: Williamsburg, Virginia All of the above is true,and as noted with shotguns the serial number is a real key in determining if the barrel even could be original. A lot of people don't realize just how prevalent barrel swapping is, but just as an example I have 5 Remington shotguns and 10 barrels, and I only have the one choke tubed barrel for the 28. I know which barrel was original with what, but depending on how they are assembled when I die, I wouldn't place a lot of bets on how some of them get soldAnd, Remington's friendly 'call them and they will tell you when it was made' service is highly unreliable in my opinion. I know of three flat out wrong answers they have given out, and they say one of my guns doesn't even exist - a 5 digit Model 1100. They wanted me to send it to them. I offered a picture, but they wanted to see the gun. No thanks. I didn't have the heart to tell them I once owned a 4 digit one. _________________What could have happened... did.I do not trust Remington's dating service accuracy.

Remington Serial/Barrel Number Lookup enables you to check when your Remington firearm was manufactured. Now you can do this automatically. You need to use two letter code which is located on barrel of your firearm. Where to find your Serial Number. The rifle’s serial number is located where the barrel meets the receiver (for a right handed rifle, the serial number is located on a user’s left, and for a left handed rifle, the serial number is located on a user’s right).Remington Shotgun Serial Number SearchTuJays.270 WINPosts: 216Joined: Sat Oct 27, 2012 10:08 pmPosted: Thu Jan 03, 2013 6:43 pm Cary wrote:How do I find out the date of manufacture for my 870 Express using the serial number?
