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

according to The Remington Society of America, probably mfg. in 1936. Hope this helps

How can I tell how old my Remington firearm is?

If you will call or email us the serial number and model number we can determine the approximate age of your firearm.

Serial numbers were not required until 1968. 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.

These models were discontinued several years ago and it is possible that the batteries are dead from age.
If it is this model type that you like, you may want to purchase a corded model instead. Corded model simply plug into the wall and run from the cord. You will find this type at shaveroutlet.com. See link below

In general, a 1950s Sweet Sixteen is a valuable gun. Measure the distance from the trigger to the end of the **** stock to get the "legnth of pull" (LOP). this was 14 1/14 " when it left the factory. If it is shorter, the value will be less.

Without seeing it, although many have been altered which would bring a price $350 - $450 area.

This guide might help if you can determine the condition : OS is 1958.
AUTO-5 SWEET 16
- 16 ga., 2 9/16 in. chamber from 1937-1940, and 2 3/4 in. chamber from 1947-1975, similar configuration to Lightweight, 12 and 20 ga., gold plated trigger, 10 oz. lighter than Standardweight Model 16 ga., 1937-1940 mfg. Sweet Sixteens were available in pre-war Grades I, III, and IV. Mfg. 1937-1975 by F.N.

Grading ...............98% ....95% ....90% ........80% ........70%
Plain Barrel .......$950 ...$825 .......$725...... $625 .......$500
Solid Matte Rib $1,300 .$1,075 ....$950 .......$825 .......$700
Vent. Rib .........$2,100 .$1,650 .....$1,225 ...$1,050 ....$875

Subtract 20% for front safety.
Subtract 20% for 2 9/16 in. chamber.

This model is several years old...probably about 7 years old and the battery is probably dead from age. The easiest fix is to purchase one of the items linked below from shaveroutlet.com
