I just inherited an 870 Express from my uncle who isn't sure when he bought it. The serial number is W744381M and it's a Express Combo with both Barrels. It's in good shape and I'd imagine it's at least 25 years old. I've even got the original box.
Help with 870 manufacturing date!
- Thread starter Finch
- Start date
Serial number will not do it .look on the left side of the barrel just infront of the reciever you will see two letters .this will be the month an year of manufacture.then go here http://www.remingtonsociety.com/rsa/questions/barrelcodes
Thanks for the link. It's date code is AI so March of either 1988 or 1976. It's an Express variant but the stock isn't plastic or wood laminate. Came with a 20" RSS and a 28" Rem choked barrel. Just needs a solid cleaning!
