Help. Remington Mfg. Date.
Anyone have a way to date a Remington 700 BDL, .308 W.?

Serial # B629xxxx.

Many thanks. L.W.

I found this on another site. It seems to be accurate. It would suggest your rifle was built in either 1955 or 1981.

Then it must be '81 'cause the M700 wasn't introduced until '62...

Thanks to both of you for that information. Yep, 1981 sounds correct.

I went to that site on Remington codes and copied it. Thanks again.
