Hello all,
I just bought a used Remington 700 ADL with a factory laminated stock, in .270win. I suspect the rifle was manufactured mid to late 80s. I "googled" how to date the rifle from the date code, which is two or three letters on the left side of the barrel, right next the the receiver. My problem is that there is NOTHING on my barrel in that location. Do I need to remove the stock to see these numbers? I do have the letters "REP" inside an oval on the RIGHT side of the barrel in that location. When they say left side, they are talking about the side opposite the bolt handle correct? What am I missing?
