Your right and I did see that but see how one A is bigger than the other. I hadn't seen date codes that were different sized !! I have seen them partially stamped and not lined up straight but not different sizes ?? I stand corrected ! Thanks John Taylor

Hi, I'm brand new to the group. I have a model 722 with barrel stamp A UU. Serial number is 605xx. It fits nicely in the list you have compiled as being made in March 1949. The problem being is that it's in 308 win chamber. Can someone help explain this because I thought 308 didn't come out till @1953? Thanks Brad

Here are a few pics of the gun. I'm hoping I can figure out the date of this gun.

Something doesn't look right. My guess is the barrel was swapped and somehow restamped A UU

Remington 722 ADL ......... 406913 .... KD May 57 ....222

I have a 1975 700 in .222 (HS grad yr), when I saw this one is a 57 (birth yr) I couldnt pass it up, wish the sling studs werent added but oh well, love the history.

26"barrel, rear sight dovetail not threaded (sight missing), D&T'ed for scope mounts, Rec D&T'ed left side (stock not relived), Bolt full sn on bottom, M on front of right lug.

Stock: Plain, refinished, 244 stamped in stock channel (Julian date?) 20 in a square under butt plate, butt plate marked ALCOA G2 and D17015 on inside, sling studs added.

A couple of questions...
1. are rear sights available?
2. Barrel was very tight in stock, looks like poly, build up inside frt of barrel channel.
you can see the impressions in pic. Would it be better to sand that way? or do these like some pressure points in barrel channel?

Thanks for any help/info
Al
