Re: 721 722 725 dates of mfg

Thanks. I thought the same on the trigger and will replace it with the original in time or trade it out with the one off the 1950 Fajen stocked one since already not original.

Stock checkering is same as I've seen in a couple now and by your description mine IS a transition one? Regular screw in rear sight. I guess my photos dont show that.

Barrel is 24 inch and Rems site info only shows them ever made in 222mag in 22 and 24?


thanks

Check our list on page 1.

Is yours a 5 digit serial number, or six digit. If five, we need some pictures.

Then the serial number should be inside the action where the bolt slides.

If so you have the new earliest 722 listed. What are the date code letters on the rear of the barrel? See page one for how to figure this out.

Then definitely pictures are in order. We can list yours as the earliest 722.
You need to post pictures to a host like Photobucket. Then copy and paste the [img]...[/img] in your text here.
Detail pictures of the calibre, model, and serial number would be great. You can tape out the last of the number.

Is the serial number inside the rail, or outside on this one?

722-B 222 2473XX K YY 5/52
The YY is poorly stamped, had to guess by serial number.
