Also, the Mod B may signify that it is actually a 10 B or special grade, although I am not 100 % sure about that. It is possible that the gun is from as early as 1914.

Records were recorded for Sept of 1919 showing that the serial numbers for that month were already above 172,000. This means that only later guns would have a date, specifically in the last 8 years of production.Īccording to the information you provided, the serial number correlates to before September 1919 (See here, page 11). The serial number on all guns made was preceded by the letter U.Īccording to the Remington Society of America, barrel date codes were used starting in 1921. The guns had a simple serial code system, which started with 001 and went to 275,600.
