1. If your firearm does have a serial number, if you will call or email to the address below, the serial number and model number we can determine the approximate age of your firearm. Contact Remington through their Help Center by e-mail at info@remington.com or call their historian at 1-800-243-9700 Mon-Fri 9-5 EST.
2. Since you didn't state the caliber, if its a.44, it should be a Beals Army Revolver, which would be in your serial number range. There were three models in.44 caliber. The Beals Army Revolver (less then 3,000 mfg); Remington 1861 Army Revolver Serial # range 6,494 - 10,446; and the Remington New Model 1863 Army Revolver Serial # range 19,793.

The first production Model 760, serial number 1001 – F grade engraved and inlaid with gold game
scenes by Remington master-engraver Carl Ennis – was presented to C.K. Davis, and is currently on display at
the Remington Museum in Ilion, N.Y. Almost all production in 1952 was of A grade rifles with a plain, low-comb stock. The
receiver was not drilled or tapped for scope mounts or a receiver sight, and the new rifle had an overall length of 42″, a 22″ barrel, and weighed 7 1/2 pounds.

Total 1953 sales of the Model 760 were 81,428 rifles, of which 11,822 were ADLs or BDLs. The next year, production
increased to 85,065 rifles, while it dropped to 30,099 in 1955 due to the introduction of the new autoloading Remington Model
740 rifle. Persistent consumer complaints about the “rattle” of the ejection port cover were answered by changing the steel cover
to one made of a black nylon resin called Zytel. An “all purpose” high-comb stock was fitted to the A and ADL grades in 1958,
and the BDL designation was temporarily dropped. In 1963 Model 760 rifles were available in A, ADL, CDL, D and F Grades,
only. In 1965, “wings” were added to the checkering pattern of the pistol grip.

The Model 760 BDL Deluxe, later called the Custom Deluxe, was introduced in 1966. It featured a stepped receiver,
Monte Carlo butt stock, flat forearm and pressed basket-weave checkering. It was available in a left-hand version, but cartridgeejection was still out the right side.

In 1966, the company sold 4,610 Remington 150th Anniversary models of this gun, all in .30-06 caliber, and each
featured the 150th Anniversary logo on the receiver. Also in 1966, Remington introduced a new checkering pattern -called the
fleur-de-lis” – to replace the standard cross-hatched checkering on previous standard grade models.

The Model 760 serial number sequence was changed on November 26, 1968, because the National Gun Control Act of
1968 required that no two guns from the same manufacturer have the same serial number. The initial Model 760 serial number
sequence began at 1001 in 1952, and ended at 549773. The new serial number sequence, now shared with the Model 742
autoloading rifle, began at 6900000.

In 1969 a new caliber was added: 6mm Remington centerfire. Also in 1969, the Model 760A and the Model 760ADL
grade designations were dropped and the standard grade was simply called the Model 760. In 1976, about 3,800 American
Bicentennial-edition Model 760 rifles were sold. Custom Shop records indicate that only 82 Model 760s were engraved in D andF grade.

The Model 760 was discontinued December 31, 1980 with the introduction of the new Remington Model Six pumpaction
rifle and the new Model 7600 pump-action rifle. Nevertheless, sales of the Model 760 continued well into 1981 to clean outwarehouse stock. In all, Remington sold a phenomenal 1,034,462 Model 760 rifles & carbines in the twenty-one year period ofmanufacture.

Remington Model 760 Carbines

A major change to the Model 760 line occurred in 1960 with the introduction of the Remington Model 760C carbine. The
carbine<92>s action tube did not extend past the end of the forend and an “O” ring was fitted in the fore-end to reduce rattle. Bothwere so successful that they were later incorporated into all 760s. The CDL carbine grade appeared a year later, and it wasequivalent to the ADL rifle. Both the carbine and the rifle were fitted with new sights compatible with the “all purpose” stocks.The carbine had an overall length of 3½”, an 18½” barrel and a weight of ¼ pounds. Production of the Remington Model 760Ccarbine stopped in 1980, and this firearm last appeared in the 1979 Remington catalog. In the twenty-year period, a total of62,726 Model 760C carbines were sold.

In 1974, Remington began a major product improvement program to replace both the autoloading Model 742 and the pumpaction
Model 760. By 1976, development of the “New Generation Rifles,” as they were called, was well underway. The new
pump-action rifles, now with model numbers, were introduced in late 1980 as the Deluxe Model Six and the popular-priced
Model 7600. Advertising, both in the catalog and the sporting press, concentrated on the Model Six, and it wasn<92>t until 1983 that
the Model 7600 received equal billing.

The major improvements over the Model 760 were a simpler bolt, which now had four lugs in place of nineteen, and a
single unit replacing the breech ring and barrel extension. Smoother operation came from a hardened steel receiver insert mated
to a matching lug on the bolt and heavier action bars. The magazine was redesigned and its release enlarged. The scope mount
screw size and screw hole spacing were increased for greater strength, so Model 760 scope mounts will not fit. Both the Models
Six and 7600 retained the original Model 760 specifications of an overall length of 42″, a barrel of 22″, and weight of 7 1/2½ pounds.

Remington introduced the Model 7600 pump-action rifle in 1981. This rifle is ically the same as the Model Six, differing only in the shape of the stock and ore-end, and receiver and barrel markings. The Model 7600 featured kered pistol-grip and fore-end in a fleur-de-lis pattern, and straight comb k. The barrel length was 22 inches. In 1987. the stock finish was changed to in with no change in the order number. In 1988, a carbine was first offered an 18 1/2½” barrel with a .30-06 chambering. In this same year the .280 Rem. the .35 Whelen were added.

The first major change in the Model 7600 came in 1991 with an upgrade to the ck and checkering. The restyled stocks featured a Monte Carlo-style buttstock d a new pattern of cut checkering. The wood finish remained satin; however, es in .30-<92>06 Sprg. and .270 Win. were available with a gloss wood finish. e overall length of the rifle and the carbine increased by 5/8″ to 42 5/8″ and 9 1/2″ respectively.

In 1993, Remington introduced the Model 7600 SP “Special Purpose”, which eatured a non-reflective finish on the wood and metalwork, sling and sling ls, and two chamberings: .270 Win and .30-06. This variation was short-lived, it was discontinued in December 1994.

For 1997 only, Remington brought out a limited edition Buckmasters American r Foundation Model 7600 Rifle chambered for .30-06, and featuring fine-line and decorated receivers. In 1998, Remington introduced the Model 7600 Synthetic, ch has a Monte Carlo-style, black fiberglass reinforced stock and fore-end. All exposed metal parts have a matte-black, non-reflective finish, and it is le in the following calibers: .243 Win, .270 Win, .280 Remington, .30-06, .308 in, and a carbine version with 18½” barrel in .30-06. The affordable priced model 7600, introduced in 1981 along with the Model Six, remain in production.

The Model 7600 SP or “Special Purpose” was introduced in 1993. The SP e featured matte-finish metal, low-lusterwood finish and a camouflage Cordura sling. It was offered in .30-06 Sprd and .270 Win., and the SP model was not listed in the 1995 catalog.

Receiver panels of the Model 7600 were embellished with pressed, fine-line ving in 1996. A game scene with two deer was on the right receiver panel, and e left panel scene had two bears. It was first noted as “new enhanced r engraving” and was discontinued in the 2004 catalog.

A synthetic-stocked Model 7600 introduced in 1998 remains part of the line. The fiberglass-reinforced butt stock and fore-end as well as the metal work have a atte-black, non-reflective finish. The Model 7600 Synthetic is offered both as rifle and as a carbine in the same calibers as the wood-stocked models. on<92>s “Integrated Security System” (ISS) trigger lock, manufactured as n integral part of the safety, first appeared in late 1999.

The 1990s began the era of niche marketing as distributors special ordered non-ataloged variations. One distributor, Grice Wholesale of Clearfield, Penn., has offered the greatest number of non-cataloged variations since 1990 in ranging from 75 to 1,200. Many of the Grice special-order rifles were in Rem. Others were in .257 Roberts, .25-06 Rem., .260 Rem. and .35 Rem. Black inate or brown laminate stocks were offered in some years.

In 2005 maple stocks were offered. Remington also produced a European-market el 7600 with a special two-shot magazine. In 2005 they offered 500 maple Model 7600s with a roll-marked
MODEL 7600 SPECIAL EDITION 30-06 SPRG 100 YEAR COMMEMORATIVE 1906 – 2006 inscription.

Several roll-engraved commemorative Model 760s and 7600s have been offered. In 966, 4,610 Model 760s with a goldfilled 150th Anniversary logo on the left side were sold. Grice offered 1,000 non-cataloged Model 7600s with a 175th y logo in 1991 and, a year later, they offered 2,000 Deer Hunter Specials with gold-filled roll-marked deer scene based on a Robert Kuhn painting in the gton Arms Collection.

Fewer than 30 five-gun sets, consisting of a Model 700 bolt-action, Model 870 mp shotgun, Model 1100 autoloader shotgun, Model 7400 autoloader rifle and the odel 7600 rifle, were sold in 1996 to commemorate the 180th Anniversary ofRemington. The Model 7600 left receiver panel had a bear, a bust of Eliphalet mington and a 180th Anniversary banner, all gold embellished. The right panel had two gold embellished deer. The 1997 catalog offered the Buckmasters imited Edition 7600 with special pressure-applied fine-line engraving on both ceiver panels and fewer than 800 were sold. The only Model 7600 commemorative rbine to date was issued in 1999 and 2000 to honor Larry Benoit, a native ter nationally known as one of the greatest whitetail deer hunters. The right de of 170 carbines had a gold embellished mount of Larry’s biggest buck

Remington added two Police Patrol versions of the 7600 in 2002 and 2005. The Model 7600P, a .308 Win. with a 16 1/2″
barrel, was first, followed by the Model 7615P in .223Rem. and employs AR-15 magazines.

Remington President C. K. Davis, designer L. Ray Crittendon and the rest of the Remington design team would
instantly recognize today’s Model 7600 and be very pleased with how it still reflects their original concept of a streamlined
pump-action rifle.

The “Sportsman 76” rifle, a lower cost version of the Model 7600, was introduced in mid-1984. The Sportsman series
was directed towards mass merchandisers and it included the 74 autoloading rifle, the 76 pump-action rifle, the 78 bolt-action
rifle, the 581-S bolt-action rimfire rifle, a 12 ga. autoloader shotgun and a 12 ga. pump-action shotgun. The Sportsman 76 was
similar in style to the 1950s A-grade Model 760 and featured an uncheckered straight comb, lacquered walnut-finish hardwood
stock and the same specifications as the Model 7600. All metal was matte-finish, and the bolt action Model 788-style rear sight
was used. The Sportsman 76 was discontinued December 31, 1987, with a total of 20,715 made in .30-06 Sprg.

FIREARMS INFORMATION

Remington never (*) (**) used serial numbers to identify the date of manufacture of it's firearms, they however stamped a date code (spelled out below) by the first letter meaning the month and the last letter the yearof manufacture.

BARREL DATE CODE - stamped exposed on LH top rear of barrel after 1920

the following will only be stamped where applicable

#2 Part order barrel (not originally assembled to firearm)

#3 Service section received

#4 Return as received

Remington Model 600 Mohawk

#5 Employee sale

R.E.P. On the RH side of the barrel will be a Magnaflux, Remington proof & a test mark

If a gun is returned to the factory as a fire damaged, or blown up firearm, the factory will stamp it as a prefix to their date code with a #4 on the barrel and return it un-repaired. Then if the gun is ever subsequently returned to a warranty center or the factory by ANYONE, they will refuse to work on it as an unsafe firearm.

REMINGTON MANUFACTURING DATE CODE

stamped on LH top rear of barrel, 2 or 3 digit, (month first, year after) these will normally only be the last letters as seen below,

with the whole list shown here ONLY if it had been returned for repairs
The anchor shown here with the date code is just a symbol, as many different inspector marks will be seen

The above information was taken from Remington's own information sheet, so if your gun may not conform, then I am also at a loss in explaining.

The factory says all barrels are date code stamped, well I have found some that are not, or if they are, are so erratic stamping that trying to decipher them is impossible.

The photos below may help a bit. Both were taken off Remington 760s, with the one on the left, a 30-06 that I bought new October 10, 1954. This has been rebored to a 35 Whelen Improved. The one on the right again a 30-06, but with a shorter barrel that I made into a knock around quad rifle with pivot mounts.

(*) Typically from the beginning, they NEVER used serial numbers to DATE their long firearms, but date codes. That does not preclude them from also assigning serial numbers. However for factory purposes, serial numbers were not the primary method of dating a firearm. Long guns made before 1941 (WWII) were serial numbered, even the 22 calibers. After the war with numerous new 22 caliber models being introduced, serial numbers were not assigned to ALL GUNS until the Federal Gun Control Act of 1968.

(**) On 8/9/99, they stopped stamping the barrels with the date code. They however continued to mark the date code on the end flap of the shipping box for shotgun barrels however. They planned on using just the serial numbers to tell when the gun was manufactured. So there was a 2 year gap in rifle date coded barrels and the normal consumer, or gunsmith would have to contact the factory for this information. They then saw the error of their ways apparently because of being inundated by phone calls and resumed stamping the date code on the barrel on 10/1/01.

You will notice the year code repeats itself, but over 20 years difference. in this instance, you will need to know when each model was manufactured. To find general manufacturing dates it may be best to go to the Blue Book of Gun Values, which does give manufacturing dates of most models. So even if it (the code stamping) was used on the same model that could have been production over MANY years, in all likelihood sights or stocks would be different which would indicate the different date.

You will also notice the month code spelling out BLACKPOWDERX, this is a common code in the firearms industry. Also some letters were left out if there was a chance of misidentifying a date. Also they jockeyed year letters to a new starting point in 1980.

Also for the 870 and 1100 series shotguns there was a code to identify caliber/size of the actions.

If you find marks on the underside of the barrel, they will more than likely be fitters or assembly marks, which mean nothing as to dating the firearm.

I have seen one EARLY 740 S/N 54,9XX that has a barrel date coded May of 1969, which apparently had been sent back to the factory and rebarreled with a original 740 barrel instead of a 742 which was in production at that time.

An issue that people need to be aware of, is that many Remington firearms such as the 870 series of shotguns can have their barrels easily changed or replaced. So, if the barrel is not original to the specific firearm in question the barrel date code may be meaningless. Also if there is a custom or aftermarket barrel installed it will not have these factory codes.
Compunding the issue a bit may be the fact that Remington Arms stamps their final inspector stamps and assembly (product) codes in the immediate area of the date codes. So it may be difficult at times to determine exactly what is what. With that in mind, and considering a lot of variables. If a specific Remington firearm has a serial number, Remington Customer Service is always the first source which should be checked for date of manufacture as they would be the definitive source. There are no publically accessible databases for Remington serial numbers.

With the hundreds of different Remington models produced over the past 200 years, it can sometimes be difficult to determine the age of your firearm.

Overview
Since serial numbers were not required until 1968, your firearm may not have a serial number. For models without a serial number, we may be able to determine the age by the 2-3 letters that are stamped on the barrel. If your firearm does have a serial number, if you will call or email to the address below, the serial number and model number we can determine the approximate age of your firearm.
