This model 870 wingmaster magnum has a 'u' stamped on left side of barrel and ( w479214m ) on the left side of receiver. Trying to find out what year it was made, THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.

    I have a remington 512 with the barrel code KG 47 and according to the website the gun was made in either May of 1938 or 1960. What I don't understand is the number 47 stamped next to the letters. Any input would be appreciated

    I may be wrong but I though the first year for the 512 was 1939.[?][?]

    my reference is showing the 512 from 1940-1962. Letters have me stumped- you might check with the Remington Collectors Association.

    The following is not conclusive, but maybe it helps.

    If in fact the 512 wasn't introduced till 1939 the riddle is solved ! I've never seen them use the same code twice , seems like that would defeat the purpose of a code !
