..

he Model 6 Rolling block was made from 1901 to 1933.
rifles manufactured after 1921 will have a date code consisting of 2 letters stamped on the left side of the barrel near the receiver.
rifles made between 1901 and 1921, ask a question about the serial number of your rifle on the... Remington Society Forum to get a date of manufacture.
Remington serial number records are not publically available to determine a date of manufacture some old gunsmiths have the info but are not publishing it publically ie the internet.
prices seem to be low 395 high 795

Here is a website that has a list for the codes on the barrel to help you determine the month and year your firearm was manufactured. They do note that Remington reuses the same letters approx every 26 years so there may be more than one possible date.

Made in 1952

I would take serial number to nearest gun shop. Ask them to reference the serial. While your there, purchase some ammo, and camo.

Hi Mike,

I see this is out dated to April 2014. SO. Here goes. I will provide you with a link supported by Remington Society. Here you will find a conversion and listing chart for your interests. Defer to the society on line to enhance your education within Remington. Here is the link. Remington Dates of Manufacture .


It appears you will need more Alphabetic Characters to satisfy the date and year of the manufacture of the weapon. One must disassemble and look for stamped characters. Here is a link for that concern. Remington Serial Number Lookup . The next link will demonstrate where to find the code and its definitions. http://www.remingtonsociety.com/questions/BarrelCodes.jpg .


The final piece of information would be the Remington Arms direct link to contact. With some patience your questions will find what you are searching? See Support. Here is that link. Company History
