She thanked me for being a Remington owner and took my order for the plug which I paid for with my credit card. She asked if had been satisfied with the shotgun and I replied that it had never let me down, she was very polite and so was I. She pulled me up on the computer and still had my information from where I had sent in the warranty registration card back in the 70's and was impressed that I was the original owner of the Wingmaster. The lady I spoke with asked the serial number of the gun in question and I gave it to her as well as my name. I called customer service to purchase a new one. About a year or two ago I had misplaced the magazine plug from Wingmaster. I constantly hear how their new products are declining from what they used to be but for whats its worth their customer service has always been above and beyond for me. I have never been a big fan of Remington Rifles I am more of a Winchester Model 70 man in that category therefore I have not ever had to deal with Remington repairs or services. I am sure they will last the rest of my lifetime and be passed down. Both 870 Wingmasters I have were made in the 70's and neither has ever failed me and both have had thousands of heavy dove loads ran through them as well as target loads. I have not purchased any new Remington gun products in a long time. It is a big deal, customer service is huge. Also any sources for a factory rem choked barrel at a reasonable price? The serial number 52#v indicates, if i have read right, that the gun was made in 1979 based on the 'v' in the serial number.Īny help would be appreceiated. Question- how to find out the manufacturing date. The gun shows no wear at the muzzle from having been fired allot(no blueing missing or faded) not a mark on the original wood. Modified barrel 26" long over all the gun is in 95% condition, bluing perfect and original end to end. My mother has shot an 1100 since the mid 60's when they first came out(bought for 45 buck from a used car dealer) and I have shot it in the past but I have always wanted my own. The shotguns are an 870 that I inherited from my granddad and restored to factory new condition and a premeir 1187(bought first year they came out) but have never owned an 1100. I have owned many remington rifles and 2 reimington shotguns. Since year codes are often duplicated, a code letter on a gun with a serial number would be later than 1967 while one without a serial number would be a year prior to 1967.Hi everyone, I usually hang out on the CZ forum but I had to ask a question. Remington added serial numbers in 1967 staring with 400,000. Please note that many rifles, particularly 22s, did not have serial numbers prior to the 1968 Gun Control Act. Jan Feb Mar Apr May June July Aug Sept Oct Nov Decī-L-A-C-K-P-O-W-D-E-R-X Just above the stock line and just forward of the rear sight.įirst letter is the month, second letter is the year Letter Codes are usually located on the left side of barrel, REMINGTON MONTH AND YEAR OF MANUFACTURE LETTER CODES Now, what part of your barrel are those letters on?
