Remington Dates of Manufacture
The following serial number
information is for Remingtion firearms manufactured after 1921
Remingtons manufactured after 1921
have a code located on the left side of the barrel near the frame that identifies the year and month of manufacture. The following letters correspond to the months of the year, for example B=January, L= February and so on:
B – L – A – C
– K – P – O – W – D – E – R – X
Serial Numbers by date (factory record book)
A few other serial lists…
Using barrel codes (such as those listed above) to date the manufacture are reliable on Remington rifles, as the company rarely changed barrels on a customer’s rifle.
Using these barrel codes to date a shotgun is somewhat unreliable, as shotgun barrels are often interchanged at random. One needs to be sure that the barrel is original to the gun before trusting the Barrel Code listing, above.
(*)
On 8/9/99, stopped stamping the barrels with the date code. They continued to mark the date code on the end flap of the shipping box. They resumed stamping the date code on the barrel on 10/1/01.

I have a Remington Model 1889 12ga Grade 1 with a serial number in the 241,300 range. Could anyone tell me when it was made and what length the chambers should be? I stuck a small screwdriver in until it touched the end of the chamber and measured it on a ruler and it looked to be about 2 3/4', but I've heard that it is probably 2 5/8'. I didn't know that there was a 2 5/8' 12ga, just 2 1/2' and 2 3/4'.Remington 1889 ShotgunLooks like this one is meant to stay with me. Here is a link to the closed auction with pics.
