Fortunately for collectors, it is not difficult to determine a rifles age, as beginning in 1921, Remington began imprinting serial numbers on the barrel of each rifle it produced.These numbers along with some basic knowledge about the rifle model itself is all that the collector needs in order to determine the age of his rifle.
Remington Model 12 Date Of Manufacture Serial Numbers OnLocate the serial letters on the left-hand side of the barrel. The numbers are printed near where the barrel connects to the rifle frame. Compare the letters to the chart provided in the link in References 1. The first letter represents the month it was manufactured, and the second and third letters if there is a third letter is the year in which it was manufactured. Determine when the specific model of your rifle went into production and when it went out of production, if applicable. See References 1) Because Remington repeated letters for several of its model years, you will need to compare this information against the chart. For example, a rifle could have a model year of either 1930 or 1956. However, if you know that Remington began producing this model in 1940, you can determine that the made-on date is 1956. Tips Rifles made before 1921 are significantly harder--if not outright impossible--to date accurately, as few records exist on guns manufactured before 1921. A link has been provided for you in the Resources section with a list of all of Remingtons discontinued rifles, which will give you a general idea of when the rifle was made. More accuracy than a general estimate, unfortunately, is not possible as of May, 2010.
