- On Remington guns manufactured after 1920 there is a 2 or 3 letter code on the left side of the barrel near the receiver. The Model 12/12A was produced from 1909 to 1936. If there is not a code on your gun, it was made before 1921 and the only way to try to get the manufacture date is to contact Remington.
- As far as I know you can not get an accurate month/date of manufacture by the serial number letter prefix??? I own a 'G' prefix Remington 700 SPS-V in caliber 22-250 Remington and the action works just fine for me.
