I just inherited my great uncles Remington 742 in 30-06. I tried to look up the age of the gun, but Come up with 3 possible years.
Is there a way to tell which year? Also before and after the manufacture date code the gun has numbers before and after the code, any ideas on what they could mean?
on the left side of the barrel, the numbers 29 XL 46 are stamped
thanks in advanced ,

Re: Remington 742
29 XL 46...........The numbers are for the assembler and the final inspector. XL tells us that the rifle was made in December, 1964..... tom
