From our list it is a good guess yours was made mid 1953

REM725, The 270 is XTT, and yes, the 264 is a transition model with a "black" SS bbl. Still would like to discuss other anomolies encoutered on these rifles. One of my 257's has a "half circle" notch that looks factory in the bolt release in the trigger guard. Also have a .244 with a very thick, checkered aluminum buttplate like I've never seen before. Have a 300HH with a 22" bbl, if it was cut, it's as good a job as factory. I saw a 722 .300S SN 279xx, which is lower than any 722 Lacy reported ever seeing. FYI

Bolt release with the half circle - - On 40x models, notch was there to access a trigger adjust screw. Perhaps your release is one of these.

Can't say about the different buttplate. I think there was a couple different kinds, early and late.

Your 22" H&H is probably a fire spitter when it goes off.

That is an early gun the 300Sav. 722 300S was always one of my favorites.

My favorite weird Rem was a 722 300S marked gun that had 725 machining for 725 trigger and safety, but it did have 722 trigger and safe.

What markings do I need to look at in order to properly identify the particulars of my rifle? It is a model 722 chambered in .222. The serial number is as follows 3650xx. The barrel markings have different marks on each side. The right side facing down bore has these marks REP in a circle then an 8 then something like an omega sign .On the left side facing down bore it has these markings, looks to be an arrow ^ with the tip missing next to that P B 8 , farther down the barrel is the Remington patent info reading as such.. REMINGTON ARMS CO. INC. ILION, N.Y. MADE IN U.S.A.
PATENT NO. 2,473,373:2.514,981 OTHERS PENDING .222

I edited your 722-222 P B 3650xx into our list.

P = 6th month - June. B = 1955
The REP "Remington English Proof" and other marks are proofs, assembler and test marks.

Thank you for the fast response also the information as to the manufacturing date. I have a chance to purchase a barrel for the 722 rechambered in .223 .my question is would I have to change anything else to use this new chambering in the rifle . also what do all the different models mean what one would mine be
722A - 1948-1962
722AC - 1949-1955
722B Special - 1949-1955
722 D Peerless - 1949-1959
722 F Premier - 1949-1959
722 ADL - 1955-1959
722 BDL - 1955-1959

I would like to get things such as stocks and bolts and triggers and don’t know what model to tell foks ADL BDL

[Rem725]

I had to look in my papers for all this


722A - 1948-1962
722AC - 1949-1955
722B Special - 1949-1955
722 D Peerless - 1949-1959
722 F Premier - 1949-1959
722 ADL - 1955-1959
722 BDL - 1955-1959

"A" standard grade, most common, no checkering,
"B" special wood and checkering
"AC" standard with checkering
"D&F" pretty darn fancy wood and engraving
ADL = A "deluxe" replaces regular A, no big deal
BDL = B deluxe

All these are about the stock (select wood, checkering, swivels) except the engraved D&F. The metalwork is basically the same on all these letters.

High comb stocks were an option, but not designated in the letters used. I have never seen a high comb, very few checkered 721 and 2's. Never an engraved.

I have owned a 725 stock what must have been a fancy grade maybe even D or F. The stock was shaped, checkered and equiped normally but the wood was exceptionally figured and way different from the standard 725 wood. And it was on a regular 725 270 metalwork.

[NewBe]

Thats great. I thank you for you time and information. The 722 I have must have been changed because I have a monte carlo style stock with no checkering.Thanks again for all of your help. I look foward to shooting this rifle this summer after making sure it breaths the way I want it to.

I am adding a link so you can see the rifle as I recieved it.I do not know if the stock is an OEM item or not i could not find any markings on it.http://home.comcast.net/~sysadmin/index722.html
