Remington - 58 - 16 Ga -

I have two - The month/year manufacture code on one barrel is CF (serial #75514W), other `?appears`? to be U O F (serial #188954W). When were they built??

Thank you!

Remington manufacture date codes are on the left side of the barrel, and here is the best explanation of how to read them:

They can be confusing, but if you search for Remington 58 history it should tell you a date range they were made, and then the code might be easier to pick out.

# 16872 - Dating A Remington Model 721
8/1/2026

Remington - 721 - 30-06 -

Hey there, I have a Remington Model 721 30-06 SPRG, and I wanted some help properly dating it and valuing it. I looked at the barrel and I see a mark that looks like a half oval squiggle, then CTT, then a circle with a line through it horizontally. I can easily send photos through as well, but any help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer:
The CTT barrel date code is for April 1948 according to the info at:

Hope that helps. John Spangler
