• Feb 21, 2015. It is a standard Remington Fieldmaster Model 572 pre-1968 as there is no Serial Number in the usual place below the roll mark. Anyone know of a way to determine approximate date of manufacture? Those numbers on the barrel, left side, just ahead of the receiver are the date.

The standard location for the serial number is above the trigger guard. Some serial numbers are located underneath the frame in front of the trigger guard. Others are on the rear of the frame, above the gun's grip.

I am assuming your second letter in the barrel code is 'Q' based on what you say above 1978 or 1996. If it is a 1978 then the prefix letter in the serial number on the receiver will most likely be 'V'. If it is a 1996 then the prefix letter in the serial number on the receiver will most likely be 'B' or possible 'C' Please always keep in mind that if you bought your gun used or second hand it may have had the barrels swapped and this can cause much confusion.example is a 1996 barrel will fit just fine on a 1978 receiver or vice versa!!!!! Jaydaddy1 wrote:How can I tell if I have a 78 or 96? In addition to what TuJays said, the barrel date stamps usually take long enough to repeat that you can get a pretty solid idea of which potential date applies to your gun based on its features.

For example, in the mid-1980s, Remington implemented some minor design updates to the action on 12ga 870s, including a 'U'-shaped cut-out in the shell carrier that prevented a certain type of malfunction from binding the gun's action. If your 870 is a 12ga, and you're trying to figure out whether it was made in 1978 or 1996 (which are on opposite sides of the '80s), your shell carrier will give you a strong clue. Other things that help separate 1978 from 1996 are screw-in chokes (introduced in 1986), Express models (1987), and nickel-plated finishes (1992). A decent overview of which models and features were available when can be found. Keep in mind that barrels can be changed, guns can be refinished, and old parts can be replaced with new ones, so these things won't always reflect a specific date with 100% surety. However, if you can identify several features that line up with one of your date possibilities, you should be able to identify the correct one fairly confidently. If you want to be absolutely sure, call or email Remington and have them look up your gun's serial number.
