if i called remington , can they give me a production date of a rifle if i provide the serial number, the gun is a 700 adl , 270 caliber and the serial number starts with E with 7 numbers after the E, or if anybody might have a guess by the letter?
 
Re: Questions about rifle

E date code: 1936 - 1954 - 1984 - 2010

Since Remington Model 700 was first manufactured in 1962 the safe bet is 1984 as Remington no longer produces the ADL line (replaced by SPS).

this image shows the date codes stamped on the barrel and what they represent. assuming its a factory barrel, note down the code and check the site above for the manufacture month.

hope that helps, if in doubt call big green and they'll square you away.
