Remington Model Seven Thread

Can anyone get a date on this serial?
I can't seem to come up with anything?

It's that blued synthetic, 'sps' style finish, 308 20 inch barrel..

I've dated numerous Remington rifles on that site.

On 8/9/99, they stopped stamping the barrels with the date code.

They continued to mark the date code on the end flap of the shipping box. They resumed stamping the date code on the barrel on 10/1/01.

It's likely yours was built in that 3 year span, along with mine that's not far off your serial #.

Also a 308 win.20250504_104532.jpg

Yeah that's cool! That's fairly close so to speak.

Makes sense about the Gap years. Thanks

Does that mean the magazine box, spring, and follower are interchangeable between the M7 and M700 SA?

While the M7 aftermarket is less substantial, quality upgrade components are available --- in particular, Wildcat Composites in AB make an M7 pattern ultralight stock that is very solid/stiff. It's a nice upgrade at 18 or so ounces.

It appears the magazine box, spring and follower are indeed the same from a Remington 700 short action caliber and a Remington Model Seven short action caliber.

The floor-plate of course is different and not interchangeable.

Remington Jim is a knowledgeable person to confirm this. He has a tremendous amount of experience with the model seven Remington.....:)

In my original post to this thread, I mentioned I was looking for M7 bottom metal and action screws. I lucked out over Christmas and found a local seller for the bottom metal (still pricey for what it was, but what are you to do?). Unfortunately, I'm still waiting for the action screws, but really enjoying the few threads that have popped up recently on the Model Seven.

Cool.

Try Numrich Gun Parts in the USA.

Or, Western Gun Parts in Edmonton.

Gravel Agency in Quebec is the current Remington Distributor and warranty depot. They may by chance have something.

Other Remington parts distributors may be found by a Google search. Ya never know….:)
