year of rifle?

Post by ognelli »

I recently purchased a 760 gamemaster and am curious to know when the rifle was made. the serial number is B7035923. the barrel has DQ5 on it and also REP circled a clover and what looks like a mushroom. thanks for all of your help.

date of mfg

I don't have a cross reference for center fire rifles and dates of mfg.

Check the RSA homepage. Put barrel codes in the box for "Search RSA". It will give you the date codes. You may have to check the letters again. Sometimes they are not stamped clearly. The "5" may indicate an employee sale.

The REP stands for Remington English Proofed and is on all of the rifles.
