How old is Remington model 572 Fieldmaster rifle with serial number A1589647?
The serial number does not reflect the date of manufactuer, but there are letters stamped in the side of the barrel at the reciever, on the left side, they are a date code, I will give you an app, If there are more than a couple letters and numbers, it has been reworked by the factory. But none of mine have.
m=1921,,,z=1931,,, and all the letters in between there except for o and q are the years, then it starts again at A=1932, and goes to L=1942, then,,,MM=1942,,,NN=1944,,,etc to ZZ=1953,,,then it stats with A again,,through Z= 1975 and after that it a random of letters I,O, Q and V, to 1979, then A, again, to Z=2005, then it starts again. hope this helps.
I Purchased this from a guy I met through a mutual friend. He told me the gun was older (1940-1950) I located letters on the left side of the barrel and there is a stamp and the follow letters following stamp is LWW. There is also a different stamp on the right side of the barrel also. What does this mean?
I want to know what year my rifle was produced and what model it is. The serial number behind the hammer is G3314
this is a levr action .22 magnum rifle
