I have a Red Label with the serial number of 411-02715, it is before any listed in the 411 numbers on the Ruger site. The receiver top tang is marked “400 – 07911” and the underside of the receiver is marked “Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc.? On the inside of the fore arm “L” has been stamped into the wood in two places and there is a brass colored Ruger eagle medallion ahead of the latch on the underside of the fore arm. The right side of the barrels both above and below the ejector are marked “SKEET”. Model: Red Label Skeet 20 Gauge Serial Number: 400 - 07911 Year of Manufacture: 1979 Caliber: 20 Gauge 3” Action Type: Break Open Over/Under Shotgun Markings: The left side of the barrels above the ejector is marked “20GA.

For shotguns with removeable barrels, the code will be valid for the manufacture of the barrel maybe for the receiver, as barrels do get switched around.Īccording to the “Blue Book of Gun Values”, the coding continues as follows:ī – L – A – C – K – P – O – W – D – E – R – Xġ – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 – 6 – 7 – 8 – 9 – 10 – 11 – 12 Remington Year of Manufacture Codes maybe found on the barrel of your Remington rifle on the left side, just forward of the receiver the first letter of the Code is the month of manufacture, followed by one or two letters which are the year of manufacture. Information confirming the manufacturing coding used by Remington can be found online.ĭecoder is based on following information: **The first letter on your barrel is the month your firearm was manufactured the second letter is the year it was manufactured. *Please note that Remington repeats the alphabet approximately every 26 years, therefore you may see several possible manufacturing dates.
