Hi. I would be grateful for some expert help deciphering the barrel code on my Fieldmaster 572. On the left side of the barrel there is an anchor symbol then three letters: O M Y
This confused me because of the 3 letters instead of 2.
I have the chart to decode barrel codes, which says O = July. But what about the two other letters M Y?
Any help is much appreciated.

Under where it says "B - L - A - C - K - P - O - W - D - E - R - X", click this:

It's just a thumb image"
This explains the barrel markings
Yours way made in july, 1965 or 1992. There is a vast difference between the different years so you should be able to figure out the decade. No serial number, 1965!

Re: Fieldmaster 572 barrel code O M Y
60RemGuy, thanks for the help. I reviewed the chart and the diagram. But I'm still not clear on what the Y in my barrel code (O M Y) stands for.
The rifle has no serial number, so that means the date of manufacture is 1965. But what does the Y stand for?
Thanks again.

Re: Fieldmaster 572 barrel code O M Y
The "Y" in your case is the mark of the person who assembled the rifle. This is an internal factory code givin to the person. So when all is said and done and if the rifle has NOT been factory repaired, your rifle shows the final inspection mark (anchor), month, year, then assembler.
