Remmington 1100 SN CODE EYL
This a follow up to my previous post. The SN code I find on the lower left corner of the 1100 pump 20 ga barrel reads:
E Y L
When I examine the chart the "E" should be Oct the "Y" should be 1974, but I also see a "Y" for 1930 and I can tell this gun is NOT 1930. And then then "L" what does that mean?
On the receiver there is a number: M040742X
So does this mean the barrel doesn't match the receiver? I don't care since I only paid $299 for the gun as a shooter but I am curios as to what is going on with this gun.
Translation anyone?

E is OK for a month code but the last two letters aren't a date code combination. Strange. Could the letters be CYL for cylinder choke? Remington did not use the date codes for a few years, maybe your barrel was made one of those years. 0 -
Show us a pic of the letters on the barrel. 0 -

The Barrel does read IC for Improved Choke It is strange to see three letters. Definitely E Y L I'll get some pics up tomorrow. Thanks for everyone's efforts...

OK I have solved the mystery here...Just want to let you all know. This 1100 was made Feb 1975, according to the SN on the receiver. The barrel markings:
E: Proof mark
L: Feb
Y 1974
Tim at Remington states they often used barrels from the previous year and married them over to newer current stocks and receivers. They had to run out the barrels from the previous year before they could use new year's barrel. With this being a Feb production in 1975, this could very well be the case. He did say he can't be certain it is the original barrel, but most likely it is the one.
Being that I am using it as a regular shooter, I don't care, but he said an outfit like Corson's could probably source a 75 barfrel if I so wanted to match them both.
I might just keep the Corson's link for the future...
