One must be careful with Remington serial numbers because the serial numbers for the Models 1882/83 and the Model 1889 are the same. The Model 1882/3 starts with serial number 001 in 1882 and runs through 15,000+ in 1884. The Model 1889 begins with serial number 001 in 1889 and runs through 250,401+ in 1910.

1. Remington serial #ed all their rifles, I have a M24 Gallery Gun that was built in the early '20s, and it's a got a serial #. The Model 12's # is probably on the tang or under the front of the receiver, like my M24.
2. Manufacturer - Remington Model - 1100 Skeet Serial number- M406811X / Date code OU Year of manufacture - July, 1971 Estimated Value Range –see below. For your firearm, the following current values apply (from the Blue Book of Gun Values). Retail prices may be 20% higher.
3. Remington's web site had a marvelous article on the Model 11 a few years ago, but it had disappeared the last time I looked for it. *just checked again and couldn't find it; Drat* If you call Remington at 800-243-9700 and tell them the serial number of your Model 11, they'll (in my experience) kindly tell you its year of manufacture.

As noted above, the serial number only identifies the model type (which might indicate a manufacture range, I should admit). However, the lettered barrel code is the best way to find the manufacture date, assuming the barrel is original. http://www.remingtonsociety.com/rsa/que . arrelcodes Top Post subject: re: Wingmaster manufacture date via serial number?? *Proud to be a* Joined: Mon May 19, 2008 8:20 pm Posts: 13850 Location: Williamsburg, Virginia But, there are also apparently a lot of guns without the barrel codes. Made right in the middle of when Remington was doing the barrel code thingy. I know; I have a Model 1100 LT20 Magnum (1978 vintage) with the original barrel and no barrel code, and an 870 12 gauge Magnum (circa 1976) with the original barrel, also with no code, and finally an 1100 28 gauge (Probably 1976 or 1977) with no barrel codes. I love it when these things happen. Oh yes, they all have a lonely little proof mark on the other side of the barrel. Top Post subject: re: Wingmaster manufacture date via serial number??

But, kudos on using the search engine ! No prefix is pre 1968, and by that number I would guess yours is late 1967 or early 68. If you have 4 numbers whited out I think that is the highest pre '68 serial number I have seen, because they generally went in order until they changed the prefix and then started again. Your barrel code is RW - and R is November (or 1968) and W is 1972. My guess is the barrel is 1972 and is not original to the receiver, but nothing is surefire. I have seen a pre 1968 2-3/4' 12 gauge with an 'L' suffix, which by all accounts is non existent, and I have seen every imaginable 'barrel code', including none at all. The horseshoe is an assembly line mark. _________________ What could have happened. did. I do not trust Remington's dating service accuracy.

Top Post subject: Re: Wingmaster manufacture date via serial number?? *Proud to be a* Joined: Thu Oct 09, 2003 4:31 pm Posts: 2492 Location: Virginia My 16-gauge 1100 must be pretty early since the relief cut is missing. It came with three barrels, two of which have no date marks and the third has PV, which I take to mean June, 1979, way too late to be original to the gun. The serial number has 5 digits and the W suffix, no prefix. I have an inquiry into Remington, will report what they say. Dan Top Post subject: Re: Wingmaster manufacture date via serial number?? *Proud to be a* Joined: Mon May 19, 2008 8:20 pm Posts: 13850 Location: Williamsburg, Virginia Going mostly on memory (dicey at best) the early 16s and 20 gauge standard weights did not have the stress relief slit behind the bolt handle slot, at least up thru 1973. I do not know when they added that to all gauges. The 28 gauge and .410 Matched Sets in 1969 did have the relief slits, as did the LW and LT 20s. The much later Classic 16s had it too. _________________ What could have happened. did. I do not trust Remington's dating service accuracy. If they were Match.com, you could end up with Nancy Pelosi.

I have seen a LOT of Standard 20s used in Skeet and no issues. The cracked 1100 I didn't get to examine had a hole drilled and was still trucking.

I apologize because I'm sure this has been asked a lot.
I'm confused as to how to date this gun. I used to know a lot about guns and hunted all the time with my father, he fell ill some five years ago and passed away, before then he just randomly gave me this gun and gave the rest of them to my stupid brother I guess he figured the 1100 would be a good gurly gun and I used to shoot skeet with my little gurly 410.
What I know it's a 12 gauge, 2 3/4 with a full ribbed barrel. I'm unsure as to how you get the exact length of the barrel. If I pull it out it measures at 33in.
What I'd like to know is how old it is. I know my father purchased it before 1980.

Remington Firearms Serial Numbers 1100

The receiver has the serial 491**V, I understand V to mean 12 gauge. There aren't any prefix codes to the serial.
The barrel has the code AFKI or AFK1, I'm unsure as the stamping is messy.

If no one can help me that's fine, as soon as I register it I can take it to a gunsmith, there's a little broken clip that causes it to jam if you attempt to eject a shell. Because of this I've been holding onto it for the past 6 years and haven't tried shooting it as I'd be concerned it was unsafe but now my daughter is too big for the 410 and wants to shoot something bigger. As I remember this was a nice ladies gun with a minimal kick but it's been over 20 years since I shot it at the local turkey shoot, still don't need any turkeys.
