I have Model 31 #2230 which I thought was pretty early, until I read this post.
The numbers on my gun match.

Very classic and historical Photograph. Thanks for sharing.

It's great seeing a classic rifle being used for what it should be. Thanks for sharing

Researcher do you know of any records or information available regarding the
Military Model 11 and Sportsman? I'm curious about mine.

Sorry not sure why I came out upside down. The FJA stamp is present.

Here are a few more. Note the cartouches on the stock.

Here are some pictures of my 1943 sportsman configured and marked in the same way serial number #710622

Question is answered. According to Remington Arms Model 16 #14160 was manufactured in 1920.( no Barrel Code)The RP was the inspectors Proof mark. I was able to find a couple boxes of Remington 22 Automatic ammo also. It is oh so close to the Winchester 22 Self loading for the model 1903, but not the...

I just picked up Model 16 S/N 14160. This rifle has rounded out my early Autoloading and Selfloading collection very good. A question is about its date of manufacture.

Does anyone have a picture or know the correct Butt plate for a 1984 M1100 special field 12ga? I know some came with a factory Butt pad, but I have just found one at a local shop with a butt plate with the early pre UMC , Remington arms type similar to the style found on my 1900 and 1894 doubles.

The former Rem UMC Firearms works site can be seen when the camera faces to north the large vacant lot on the upper right of the picture.

Thanks for the useful information ! I have a 1100 skeet 20 ga Barrel code for 1972 the L prefix on the serial number has helped verify the gun to the barrel for me. It also has an X suffix. #L464731X

Thank you ,Try this site too to see how things use to look around the country and in Bridgeport http://www.historicaerials.com/aerials.php?op=home

The patent stampings on both guns are of the top of the barrel. None on the left side of the receiver on 17XXX. Both do have the smaller carrier button. I have a 1915 Model 11D 182XXX with the larger one,
though quite fancy.
