Call Remington Arms; option 4, I believe and then one more choice. I recently called about a rifle I was buying as I wanted to know the year of manufature; they asked for the serial number and proceeded to teil me the year, the type of stock, the barrel length and that it was a stainless rifle.

Their information verified the barrel code for the year manufactured. I was thrown by the year because none of my blue 700s have a serial number prefix higher than G but this one has an S prefix which thoroughly confused me but Remington educated me with a simple phone call.
