Dating Remington Firearms

[killerv]

Is there a way to date the Remington firearm if the barrel has been changed?
I have a Remington 1100 with an older receiver with a newer barrel with rem chokes.

The letter prefix in front of the serial number can give you a ballpark, but not as accurate as the barrel code.

A date code of “PUU” would mean it was made in June 1949.

A date code of “EY” would mean it was made in October of 1930, 1974, or 2004.

I need some info on how to date a Winchester model 70 in 30-06 for my brother. The rifle looks like it’s never been fired. Is that done by serial number?

Yes, you use the serial number. If it's below 581,000 it's Pre "64.
