Trying to help a good friend liquidate an estate of a local gun collector. I decided that since I'm not an FFL, and there are about 50 guns left to sell I am just going to help ship them off to Kasey and let her work her magic. One of the first one's going down there is a pretty special piece IMO. It's a Remington 700 BDL Varmint first year production in 220 Swift. The gun is new and un fired in the original box with the words "first production" stamped on the box end and on the left side of the barrel. The serial number is C6733704, and I can't see anything that looks like a date code on it. From the limited amount of info I can find on it it looks to have been made between 62 and 64, but I could be way off since there doesn't seem to be much on these. Any help as to a dom and amount of these produced in Swift would be greatly appreciated. Hoping to get as much as we can out of these since all of the money goes to a local charity... TIA!

edit: So I put a magnifier on a magnifier and it looks like maybe a small half stamped date code of "OM", or possibly July '92. However, other than a classic version 700, I really have no idea as to how many of, or when these things were made..

It's not a classic. Box end has it as a BDL varmint, and it has the for end cap. Same as the one below:

Remington and I are still waiting for an answer for about two years,and I forget now but they never contacted me on two things. Good luck with their customer service. :?
Many thanks Ambrose, many thanks!!!
