Manufactured: 1913
The manufacture month and year of a Remington rifle can be determined from a letter and number code stamped near the back of the barrel on the right side. If your Model 12 is not marked 12A, 12B, 12C, 12CS, 12D, 12E, or 12F, it is a basic Model 12.
Exactly how is that barrel marked? sales@countrygunsmith.net
Only if it is marked ".223 Remington" on the barrel.
Is marked on side of action. If you do not see any action marks look at the barrel, it might be a 788.
It is a slide action rifle with an octagonal barrel made from 1890 to 1932. If it is marked as Model 90, not Model 1890, it was made after about 1915.
E. Remington and Sons (predecessor to Remington Arms Co) manufactured firearms in Ilion, New York, from 1860 to 1888.
If the gun is marked 2-3/4 on the barrel, that is the maximum length shell that the gun will shoot.
1921 and on they are marked with a barrel code you can look up on the manufactured link on the Remington Society of America, before that need a serial no to tell and then only a year and not the month/year that the code provides.
1925 - Should be marked with a barrel code which can be viewed on the Remington Society's web site: http://remingtonsociety.com/rsa/questions/barrelcodes This will give month and year.
1932 Should also be barrel marked with the Month/Year codes, details are here: http://remingtonsociety.com/rsa/questions/barrelcodes
Unsure of your description- am not aware that Remington ever made a woman's rifle. The model number is usually marked on the barrel. Serial numbers, IF ANY, are on the frame. Serial numbers were not required until the 1968 Gun Control Act- I have several Remington 22 rifles that have never HAD a serial number. Remington rifles, BTW, are dated not from the serial number, but a 2 or 3 LETTER code stamped on the barrel. Left side, about a half inch from the receiver.
It will be marked on the barrel.
