Remington 725 30-06 sprg serial number 701910 when was it made and what is it worth?

Answer 1

Just ahead of the receiver, on the left side, there will be a 2-letter assembly date code stamped on the barrel, just above the wood, that will indicate the month/year that the rifle was assembled. The 725s were made from 1958 thru 1961/62, not sure exactly what date the 700 superceeded the 725, but the the code will be some combination of the following:

Month:

01 - B

02 - L

03 - A

04 - C

05 - K

06 - P

07 - O

08 - W
