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?
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.
