Here's another list with some of the letter codes for the serial numbers. The letter "K" could be for the year 1963 and wouldn't have a serial number prefix, but that sounds a little suspicious, too. The letters "K I" would be May of 1976 (pre-1980), but then there should be a prefix letter of "M" in the serial number. As I remember this was a nice ladies gun with a minimal kick but it's been over 20 years since I shot it at the local turkey shoot, still don't need any turkeys. Because of this I've been holding onto it for the past 6 years and haven't tried shooting it as I'd be concerned it was unsafe but now my daughter is too big for the 410 and wants to shoot something bigger. REMINGTON & SONS WHITMORE MODELS Model Years ser. The first two letters of the serial number typically indicate the manufacturing date. What is the age range for Remington 742 Woodsmasters The Remington 742 Woodsmaster was produced from 1960 to 1980, so its age could range from a minimum of 41 years to a maximum of 61 years. When trying to determine the year your Remington firearm was made, it’s essential to check the serial number. The serial number is the main indicator of its age. If no one can help me that's fine, as soon as I register it I can take it to a gunsmith, there's a little broken clip that causes it to jam if you attempt to eject a shell. What year was my Remington made Februby Robert Carlson. If you could assist, I would greatly appreciate it. After looking through links on the page, it appears to have been manufactured between JAugbased on other serial numbers I looked at. The barrel has the code AFKI or AFK1, I'm unsure as the stamping is messy. I couldn’t find it on the website with the webpage provided. There aren't any prefix codes to the serial. In 1924, the serial number was moved to the left side of the receiver and that was true of the Model 121 also. The receiver has the serial 491**V, I understand V to mean 12 gauge. Those had the serial number stamped on the bottom of the receiver ahead of the trigger guard with RW (Remington Works). I know my father purchased it before 1980. I'm unsure as to how you get the exact length of the barrel. What I know it's a 12 gauge, 2 3/4 with a full ribbed barrel. I used to know a lot about guns and hunted all the time with my father, he fell ill some five years ago and passed away, before then he just randomly gave me this gun and gave the rest of them to my stupid brother I guess he figured the 1100 would be a good gurly gun and I used to shoot skeet with my little gurly 410. The Model 121 Remington which replaced the Model 12 can handle high speed ammo for example.I apologize because I'm sure this has been asked a lot. Perhaps someone else that knows this gun will be along. I have no experience with the Model 6 so can't advise on it. Many of the guns of this period were not stout enough for high speed ammo. If you value your gun, I would recommend sticking to standard velocity ammo and use a more modern gun for high speed ammo. But there are known examples of bolt failure in these guns due to repeated firing of high speed ammo over a period of time. I shot high speed ammo for a little while in the first Model 12 I owned without permanent damage. Can you shoot high speed ammo in the gun? You can, but repeated use of that ammo over a period of time can lead to damage of the bolt. Serial number 856 is far and away the lowest serial number Ive heard of surfacing. There isn't adequate lockup surface between bolt and the receiver to safely withstand repeated firing of high velocity ammo over a period of time without risking damage to the gun. The Remington Repeating Shotgun/Model 1908/Model 10 was only made in 12-gauge and from the beginning they were made for 2 3/4 inch shells. ![]()
