I want to know my receiver s date of birth. But as we all know barrel are swapped like baseball cards. How can I look up the date of manufacture my the serial number on a 1100 s receiver ? I have seen al over the web the barrel codes. Remongton 1100 in 28 gauge with vented rib and no reserve 25. If they were, you could end up with Nancy Pelosi.Remington 1100 serial number lookup? Remington model 1100 buttplate, 12 gauge remington model 1100 buttplate 12 gauge also fits 28 gauges, we don't have other gauges to check fit approximately 4 7/8 x 1 3/4 screw hole spacing 3 1/8 the finest quality repr. I do not trust Remington's dating service accuracy. I didn't have the heart to tell them I once owned a 4 digit one. I offered a picture, but they wanted to see the gun. 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. 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 soldĪnd, Remington's friendly 'call them and they will tell you when it was made' service is highly unreliable in my opinion. 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. Since letters have obviously been repeated, it's vital to know when your Remington model was introduced/discontinued.Īll 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. 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.

Remington resumed stamping the date code on the barrel on 10/1/01. The date code was marked only on the end flap of the shipping box. (**) On 8/9/99, Remington stopped stamping the barrels with the date code. (*) the years 1943 though 1953 had double letters: ie, MM = 1943

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.Īccording to the 'Blue Book of Gun Values'& 'The Remington Society', the coding continues as follows:ī - L - A - C - K - P - O - W - D - E - R - Xġ - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 11 - 12 Remington Year of Manufacture Codes maybe found on the barrel of your Remington rifle 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.
