    Default Remington 870 Navy

    Would any one know what the barrel marks
    Mean? I am trying to date390C34D8-2633-43C0-B175-A03F659D17AC.jpgF83C5748-51EF-434C-A048-2310029DE6E6.jpg this barrel. This is on my Remington 870 .

    Harold, can you confirm the marks? They look like: A P S H. The first mark may be an inspection mark; the two in the middle date marks (P for June and S for 1969); and the last mark an assembly mark. Remington also sometimes placed rework marks next to the original marks in this same area. Don't take this to the bank, but I know some Remington barrels were marked as I describe.

    Do you know the date of your 870? Is it 1969 by chance? I think Remington reused the S year mark again in 1998.

    Yes , APSH is correct. The ser: S0010xxV looks to be factory parked

    The S prefix to the serial number indicates a late 1960s to early 70s manufacture date. The V suffix is the 12 gauge designation.

    Thanks Tom, I have two of these. One is a 18” barrel
    And this one is 20” barrel. When I get time I will post
    Good pictures of both.
