Where is the date code located on these? I know mine isnt in the first part of production since it has a serial number on it. Only thing on left side of barrel is the caliber stampings.
Anyone have a pic ? Thanks!

Only markings under the wood line is the serial number...
According to the Blue Book, for a short period of time circa 1999/2001 Remington suspended barrel date codes.
These were made from '36 thru '39, and serial numbers started being put on about mid '37.
Serial is 412xx ...

In that case, perhaps the barrel isn't original? I have never ran across a 22 rifle that I knew for a fact that had be rebarreled. But being it was a target rifle, anything is possible.

Impossible to rebarrel these - the barrel and receiver are one solid piece.
I'm betting that mark behind the k is a letter the k would make it june and the next letter would give you the year possible letters for that rifle is e f g h

This is in addition to the "K" on the uderside of the barrel.
Would these markings indicate that my rifle was made in October, 1937?
Feb 1937 the l is the month and the F is 1937 if the k was at the 6oclock postion that is proably a inspection stamp
