#REMINGTON 700 SERIAL NUMBER DATE CODE SERIAL NUMBERS#
She was not sure about the CNC receivers issue and RR serial numbers when I inquired, but she didn't seem to be fully aware of what CNC meant either? I think she was "schooled" in serial numbers, etc., and she was not a production issues specialist since she apparently had no idea about what a CNC receiver was.Īs for the "room temperature" issue, I'm referring to your very similar inquiry/comment to another poster on your 300 BO thread. She said no exact production date was available from that two year span as to when it (RR) was first used. I'm guessing that the two rifles are both fairly new.?Īs an enabler for those who are overly inquisitive but who get all of their answers from the internet/from others who do their leg work for them, I called Remington Historical Services a few minutes ago, and the lady I talked with told me that the RR serial numbers began in the ~2015 to 2017 time frame in various different models of 700 rifles. I have two, both have RR on the receiver.Īs far as "room temperature", don't have a clue.
#REMINGTON 700 SERIAL NUMBER DATE CODE CODE#
The text following the barrel code information is fairly good. Also notice what happened in 1999 with the barrel codes. NOTE - Beginning with the first sentence, not everything stated here is totally accurate but the month and year date codes further down the page are good. The two letter designation on the barrel in front of the receiver (not a serial number) will get you a rough year and month designation on the age of the Model 700 using the following code at this link. A Model 700 barrel code of RR most likely designates a November 1997 manufacture of a Model 700. No short action Model 722 (1948) or 700 (1962) rifles existed in 1946 as AW stated. Rem Custom Shop Model 700 receiver serial numbers are sequenced w/ a Suffix Letter. I'll go with custom smiths who say these CNC produced actions need very little, if any at all, "blue printing" to make them shoot well.Īll S/S receiver serial numbers have a prefix letter SĪll Titanium receiver serial numbers have a prefix letter T People who hate Remington for whatever reason will tell you that they are junk. RR prefix - more recent production (largely CNC receivers) Some people including custom smiths who build off Rem 700 actions say these are truer actions than older ones. If you need something more precise, call Remington.Īgain, these are rifle serial numbers and have nothing to do with the barrel dating codes found on barrels just in front of the rifle receiver.Ĥ,5,6,and 7 digit Model 700 serial numbered receivers-from 1962 to the early 1970's.ĭ prefix-began mid-late 90's - some recognized by ISS/J Lock firing pinsĮ prefix- ~2000/millenium (Embellished/engraved Model 700's/ISS/J Lock Firing Pins) No matter which model of 700 you may be dealing on I think the roughness can be dealt with quickly enough.īest of luck - what ever you decide to do - I wish I could be of more help to you.Serial number pre-fix letters in the rifle serial number on the receiver (not on the barrel) will get you to the nearest decade of production. I have only seen the Rifle once but it looked very good to me. He further relayed that he only removed the finish from the SPS's bolt and barrel and the action lug runways were already smooth enough for his desires. So, I also guess that I disagree (but not with a lot of certainty) that the Remington SPS finish is not due to heavy bead blasting but to the applied finish itself?Īllen, I just got a return call from my friend Jack - he relayed that indeed the SPS rough finish is applied and not built in or sandblasted on! I have only owned the one SPS but am familiar with many more that belong to Varminting partners and the crude finish on these doesn't seem to hamper their accuracy or usefullness afield? I could get the particulars on the process he himself did to the Rifle - if you are interested. I believe that Rifle was in caliber 17 Remington Fireball! My good friend Jack from Yelm, Washington bought an SPS-V some years back and simply polished off the "rough finish" of the bolt and action and had a "shiney" (but smooth) Remington 700 Varmint! I own a "G" prefix Remington 700 SPS-V in caliber 22-250 Remington and the action works just fine for me. If you could look at the barrel again and get those letters I can date it for you.Īs far as I know you can not get an accurate month/date of manufacture by the serial number letter prefix? Hemiallen: Remingtons are more easily/readily "dated" by the two letter barrel code on the left side of the Remington factory barrel.
