The Remington Society website http://www.remingtonsociety.com contains a page that contains a listing of the date codes and their corresponding months and years. You can find the date codes on the left side of the barrel near the breech. For example, I have a model 514 that has no serial number and its date code letters are X M. X means it was manufactured during the month of December. Since there is no serial number on my rifle, I may safely assume that it was produced prior to 1968. The M can either be 1921 or 1965. Since the model 514 was not introduced until the late 1940s, I know my rifle was manufactured during December, 1965.
