A friend has a 243 model 600 with the vent rib that he is thinking of selling. Any ideas as to the value of this rifle, it's probably 85-90%, no rust, has been hunted some but doesn't look abused. Thanks for any input. Rem-Rand Serial Numbers Data from Remington Rand Corporation Records of. Appendix I Typewriter Manufacture Dates and Serial Numbers. 600 '700' 1953: J2353M: E2. Model 600 and 660 rifles - except those with a serial number beginning with an 'A' before the serial number - were subject to the 1979 recall. Each Model 600 and 660 rifles repaired under the 1979 recall has a “V” (approximately 1/4 inch high) stamped on the left side of the trigger below the receiver line. Let me give my take on a number of the oft-repeated criticisms of the Model 600. First let’s talk about that dogleg bolt handle. The June 2014 issue of NRA's American Hunter magazine reveals the reason for the dogleg bolt handle on the XP100 pistol: “The XP-100’s bolt was doglegged in shape because Remington had found a straight bolt.

When was my rifle made?
After 1921, Remington employed a “date code” system which consists of a series of letters identifying the month and year of manufacture. This date code is typically 2-3 letters hand stamped on the jacket head (refer to the photograph below for location). The first letter in the code represents the month, the second (and sometimes third) letter represents the year. It is not uncommon for these letters to be stamped sideways.
When a rifle was returned to Remington for a repair, the factory would stamp a repair code. These codes read the same as the date code, but were followed by a “3”. It is not uncommon to find the “3” stamped backwards. For those rifles manufactured prior to 1921, rifles not found with a date code, or rifles found with ONLY a repair code, these will be dated best by using the serial number list at the bottom of the page.
