Remington employee sale guns will be stamped with a 5 on the side of the barrel. Post pictures. It will be a lot easier to help.

Re: Trying to identify older Model 700
Some of the stock work does not look remington.

Here's my take.......
It's a 1965 gun. That's the year they started chambering them for the .22-250 Rem.

Also, regarding the date, I have two 700s that were built in November of 1965 which have serial numbers slightly higher than that one........
1798XX ---- Nov 65 "R M"-- .270 Win.
1812XX ---- Nov 65 "R M"-- .30-06 Sprg.
I'm going to "guess" that it IS a Custom Shop gun......with original barrel. The fact that it doesn't have a hinged floor plate doesn't mean it isn't a BDL. And, since it's probably a Custom Shop gun, the designation of ADL or BDL is immaterial. With the Custom Shop, a person can/could order practically any feature they want/wanted.
Nice looking gun. Take care of it.
