Remington Model 8 25 Rem questions

Post by Gamemaster06 »

I've recently aquire a Model 8 in 25 Remington. Serial number is 32355. I have a few questions because there are some things that don't make sense to me about this gun and I need you guys expertise. First thing, is there is a "30" stamped on the bolt. My gun is chambered in 25. Did someone switch out the bolt or the barrel? Or did they use "30" bolts on some 25 guns? The next thing is, there are 3 characters stamped on the left side of the barrel, not the barrel jacket. The letters are "Y38". What do these letters mean? Third question is, when I took the butt plate off there is a "98" stamped on the butt plate and the stock. What does this number mean? Sorry for the long story but I'd really appreciate someone to shine some light on this for me. Hoping I didn't get screwed. I tried to upload some pictures but it wont let me, says the files are too big.
