Remington 550-1

Post by jharn0452 »

I am attempting to determine the production date on my father's Remington 550-1. There is on serial number, on the left side of the barrel (pointed down) the numbers " 1 1", aligned vertically. My father died in 1954, so the rifle pre-dates his death.

Did you mean to say there is "NO" serial number?

Try to sort through some of the posts about the 550-1 rifles in this search link and see if you can find some information.

Then, see if the impressions on the left side of the barrel coincide with the manufacture dates (letter codes) from this chart.
