![]() The exact meaning of the "///" stamp is unknown for any certainty but is theorized to indicate a full choke boring in a barrel/s. The "D" stamp is a factory code denoting barrel steel, which with your gun is "two-stripe Damascus" yes your gun has Damascus barrels, so never shoot the gun unless you use shells loaded to period correct pressures. So the Model 1900 was called the "K Grade", which grade stamp is on the barrels as you note above. As the Model 1894 was made in a variety of grades and prices (Grade A, B, C, F Trap, D, E, and the fabulous Remington Special), the gun works also assigned the Model 1900 a factory grade. The Rem Model 1900, as noted above, was a "cheap" ($35 retail) version of the Model 1894 which, in the lowest grade (Grade A) retailed for $45-50. The "Q" serial number prefix stamp is an inventory code Remington added to Model 1900 serial numbers in 1904 and Rem continued that practice thru the end of production (Model 1894 Remington doubles were assigned a "P" inventory code). The Model 1900 was produced from 1900 thru the end of 1910 (although interestingly, the records show that exactly one Model 1900 was manufactured in 1911).

It has the black fore end on the stock and a metal buttplate and on the left side of the barrel beside the P are the numbers 3 and maybe a 9 (they are staggered in level of inpression). Instead of a checkered it has some feathering around the corners. It has a 4x leupold gold ring scope with it and the woodwork is a little different than on other BDLs I have seen. I think it was manufactured around 1967, but any expert imput would be great. I was looking at a camo 06 recently and he found a nice one. I recently will turn 40 and for a birthday present my dad surprised me with a nice rifle. I was wondering if anyone could help me with a question.

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 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.
