Remington 12 question

Post by admiral1960 »

Hi,

Newcomer

I have a Model 12 SN 673171 I am guessing early 20's.

How close am I ?

Shoots S, L & LR and no 3 digit code on barrel which I believe says pre 1921.

Thanks for any info !!!

1926 - can't explain the lack of a date code unless the barrel was swapped with a earlier rifle.

Rifle is well worn.

3 digit code is supposed to be on barrel on left where it connects to receiver if I am correct.

Not there but will look again..........

Located on the left side of the barrel near the frame on a 12 there's no wood it the way :lol:
I think this would actually be a difficult place to wear to the point it wouldn't be visible unless the rifle used as a tomato stake.
