Hi Was the gun's the same? Was the checkering the same? Why was it changed from ac to adl? Any pictures of checkering on the the later 721adl. I am looking at a adl next week. thanks for the help. Thanks Rem1894

I have most every Remington catalog/brochure/price list that there was from the 1950's and it appears that they changed the name from AC and B grades to ADL and BDL in 1955. From the literature and my own experience, there isn't any difference. I suspect they just wanted to incorporate the "Deluxe" moniker (as in, A-Deluxe, and B-Deluxe, which is what the ADL and BDL acronyms mean). The only difference between the two grades was the quality of the wood. Here's my 1952 722AC as a reference:

Hi Thanks for the help and picture. I have a 722b also made in 1952 , it is in 222Rem. The sling swivels were different on later gun's correct? Rem1894
