Post date remington 241 speedmaster
hello, I am trying to date a Remington 241 speed master that I received and have since posted on gun broker. Is there a way to tell a manufacture date by the serial number? Or is there some other way of dating the gun?

I am also trying to date a model six which I believe was the forerunner to the model 7600. Can anybody give me some information about this gun? Also, I am having difficulty posting pictures, can anyone help with that information?

In their book, "Remington .22 Rimfire Rifles", John Gyde and Roy Marcot publish a chart that cross references serial number to approximate production date. They also explain that while this information is compiled from historical records at the Remington factory, there are a number of extenuating circumstances in Remingtons "system" that prevent a totally accurate date assignment. If you don't already have a copy of this book, I recommend that you add it to your library.

Best regards,
