721 722 725 dates of mfg

Sry i should have looked up the page more so mine was made in 11/49. When I looked at the diagram it shows the first set of letters mine has this it dates to 1950. Does this mean this gun was repaired.

I'm not exactly sure what you're looking at or comparing, but it's not all that uncommon for the serial numbers on the actions to be older than the barrel codes.....sometimes by "years". The action could have been sitting in inventory for some time before the barrel was added.
However, it's also not uncommon to find that the rifles have been sent back for some sort of servicing or repair and those codes should also be stamped into the barrel. I think I've read that a "3" indicates a return for servicing/repair.

Finally found a 300 H&H that hadn't been butchered or re-chambered. Here's the details for it as well as for the .222 I picked up this past spring.

my 721 .270 was dated at march of 1949. i got it for $150.00. it would not shoot good. however after removing the sling swivel stud from touching the barrel in the barrel channel the .270 is a consistant 1" group with factory corelocks..good old rifle..

I have a Model 721 in 30-06 that I bought used in 1975. On the left side of the barrel is a small B and F, and a larger 122. The serial number on the left side of the receiver is 8132, which doesn't look like any I've seen on this site. There is also a faint 81 on the bolt.
Comments or information would be appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for the oldest for our list so far (3/2011)
The incomplete serial number is mostly for privacy.
Some believe ill mannered persons might use a complete serial for fraud or something.
I would say to keep the older one intact and convert the newer rifle. 6.5-284 is an excellent cartridge.
