#Remington 788 date of manufacture serial number#

These guns were a sales success in that when I purchased a new one in October 10th of 1954 the serial number was 179,000 and the price of $109.50, about $5 above the initial price. Initially the wood was plain uncheckered walnut buttstock with a vertical grooved forearm. Other calibers added later included 257 Roberts, 244 Rem., 308 Win., 243 Win., 280 Rem., 222 Rem., and 223 Rem. This model was initially produced only in 300 Savage, 30-06 and 35 Remington calibers. It used a detachable 4 shot sheet metal stamped box magazine. Model 760 : The Remington pump model 760 rifle, called the 'Gamemaster' was made with a 22' barrel, was introduced in 1952 and was discontinued in 1980. Using these barrel codes to date a shotgun is somewhat unreliable, as shotgun barrels are often interchanged at random. Using barrel codes (such as those listed above) to date the manufacture are reliable on Remington rifles, as the company rarely changed barrels on a customer's rifle.
