Can anyone tell me how to tell how to tell what year it was made
Remington 550-1
- Thread starter SLIM
- Start date
If it’s marked as a “550 1” with no dash, it was made from 1946-1948.
If it’s marked “550-1” with a dash, then it was made from 1949-1971.
Your rifle should have the Remington date code stamp on the left side of the barrel near the receiver, and consist of two or three letters.
Your firearm may not have a serial number. Long guns were not required to have a serial numbers prior to the 1968 Gun Control Act. Many manufacturers did not serialize their economy line of products.

I’d need a lot more information. That one will take some sleuthing.
You know more about the history of your gun than I do. Use the codes on the charts above, then use what you know about the rifle to narrow it down.
If the rifle has a serial number, you can contact Remington Arms with the serial number.
they are not mine yet just looking at buying them. neither has a serial number
This is what I mean about doing a little sleuthing, and you having more info than me.
The Federal Gun Control Act of 1968 requires that serial numbers be stamped on all firearms manufactured for sale in the United States since 1968.
The Remington 572 was introduced in 1954.
All firearms produced in America after 1968 require a serial number.
The first P is June.
The second P could be 1923, 1967, or 1995.
Can’t be 1923, since the 572 wasn’t invented.
Can’t be 1995, because it would have a serial number.
So, it was made in June 1967.
