New serial number range for 742's starting at B 6,000,000 1981--Model 760 ADL and BDL designations replaced with 7600 with straight comb stock and impressed checkering. Bolts were changed from 14 small locking lugs to 4 larger locking lugs. * Colt duplicated the following serial number blocks: 60000 pistols in the Ithaca range 804 41696 pistols in the Remington Rand range 900.
M/870 LETTER PREFIX 1950 TO APPROX 1968:NO SERIAL NUMBER PREFIX 1968 TO PRESENT: LETTERS USED (IN SEQUENCE) S-68, T-74, V-78, W-84, X-90, A-91, B-94, C-97, D-01, AB-05 LETTER SUFFIX (DESIGNATES GAGE) V 12 GA. (2 3/4”) M 12 GA. MAGNUM (3”) A 12 GA. Sidewinder precision racing wheel driver. “SUPER” MAGNUM (3 ½”) W 16 GA.
( 2 ¾” ) X 20 GA. “HEAVY FRAME” (DISCONTINUED) N 20 GA.
“HEAVY FRAME MAGNUM” (DISCONTINUED) K 20 GA. “LIGHT WEIGHT” (“LW”) (ALSO INCLUDES M/1100 “LT”) U 20 GA. LW MAGNUM (ALSO INCLUDES M/1100 “LT”) J 28 GA. H.410 BORE (2 ½” OR 3”). But, there are also apparently a lot of guns without the barrel codes. Made right in the middle of when Remington was doing the barrel code thingy.
I know; I have a Model 1100 LT20 Magnum (1978 vintage) with the original barrel and no barrel code, and an 870 12 gauge Magnum (circa 1976) with the original barrel, also with no code, and finally an 1100 28 gauge (Probably 1976 or 1977) with no barrel codes. I love it when these things happen. Oh yes, they all have a lonely little proof mark on the other side of the barrel.
Call Remington at 1-800-243-9700.(I think they are open M-F 9-5pm EST) Follow the prompts (I think it is 7 and then 1) and you can speak with an actual person who can tell you month and year the gun was made. Barrels might sit a bit but receiver are the parts that are serialized. I have nothing but positive feedback to give Remington.
The staff has been very helpful. Nice to speak with folks. Just my $0.02 worth. Duke _________________ We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately. Benjamin Franklin.
Wow, an over 8 year old thread revived. But, kudos on using the search engine! No prefix is pre 1968, and by that number I would guess yours is late 1967 or early 68. If you have 4 numbers whited out I think that is the highest pre '68 serial number I have seen, because they generally went in order until they changed the prefix and then started again. Your barrel code is RW - and R is November (or 1968) and W is 1972. My guess is the barrel is 1972 and is not original to the receiver, but nothing is surefire.

I have seen a pre 1968 2-3/4' 12 gauge with an 'L' suffix, which by all accounts is non existent, and I have seen every imaginable 'barrel code', including none at all. The horseshoe is an assembly line mark. _________________ What could have happened. I do not trust Remington's dating service accuracy. If they were Match.com, you could end up with Nancy Pelosi. Going mostly on memory (dicey at best) the early 16s and 20 gauge standard weights did not have the stress relief slit behind the bolt handle slot, at least up thru 1973. I do not know when they added that to all gauges.
