I am new to Rem 1100 shotguns. I am communicating with an 88 year old man selling his 1100 shotgun. He has limited vision and has not been able to find the manufacture date code on the barrel. He says the SN is L642481V. Is there any way to age the shotgun from the serial number? Does the SN indicate grade in any way? He says he bought the gun "about mid '60s." He says it is a never fired "safe queen." Thanks for any insight you can provide. (Unfortunately he has no email and cannot send photos....)

  No, I do not believe that the serial number will help answer your questions. That said, you might want to check with Remington.

  If the serial number is hand engraved, it is grade D or better.
