Ricky, here is a link to the history of the Remington 742:
http://www.remingtonsociety.com/rsa/journals/Model_74N
This paragraph has the most pertinent information:
"The Model 742 serial number sequence was changed on November 26, 1968 as a result of the 1968 Gun Control Act that required no two guns from the same manufacturer have the same serial number. The initial Model 742 serial number sequence began at 1001 and ended at 396562. The new serial number sequence, now shared with the Model 760 pump-action rifle, began at 6900000"
SOURCE: i have a remington modle 34 22 rifle and dont know
open bolt and slid backward while at the same time push trigger forward bolt will slid out
SOURCE: How old is Remington model 572 Fieldmaster rifle
The serial number does not reflect the date of manufactuer, but there are letters stamped in the side of the barrel at the reciever, on the left side, they are a date code, I will give you an app, If there are more than a couple letters and numbers, it has been reworked by the factory. But none of mine have.
m=1921,,,z=1931,,, and all the letters in between there except for o and q are the years, then it starts again at A=1932, and goes to L=1942, then,,,MM=1942,,,NN=1944,,,etc to ZZ=1953,,,then it stats with A again,,through Z= 1975 and after that it a random of letters I,O, Q and V, to 1979, then A, again, to Z=2005, then it starts again. hope this helps.
