    [?]How do I read the date code on remington rifle barrels. I just bought a new unfired take off and am interested in its age.

    tried that, it is later than 1972, so it won't work, i found one site, that i can't find now that had all the date and year codes in order, i thought it was on the remington site, but i cannot find it now

    Hello Bart,

    The "wzr7" code you listed is not the correct format for a Remington date code. Please go to this link for a complete up-to-date listing of the correct date codes - http://forums.gunbroker.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=121486


    edit... you might also find this interesting - http://forums.gunbroker.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=149468

    edit (2)... OK, after looking at the code you listed again, I think that your Model 700 is dated August of 1975... but please don't quote me on that[:D]

    thats what it says though, the one link had exactly what i was talking about, all the years and months were listed like that. on the site it told me it was made in august of invalid year. i just picked the gun up today, a 25-06 varmint special i got off GB. it had unertl scope taps on the barrel, so i figured it was semi old, but the gun looks brand new. i appreciate the help on this. also picked up a real nice polished steel barrelled ruger 77 .220 swift. the only problem with the remington is that the trigger is set as high as it will go and it near 7 lb pull, not for long. again i appreciate the list.
