I'm confused.
You initially said: "I have contact with a friend wanting to sell a 5-digit serial number, Remington 700, Stnlss-stl, 25-06. The rifle was originally in BLUE mode but the BLUE was professionally removed.".
Then you said: "I make 3 phone Long D phone call's in order to find out code letter which needs to be a K.".
Now you've said: "You can not imagine how nice that 63 is...with me every day... ".
It appears, from your words, as though your "friend" boards his 5-digit Remington 700 with you, so why make 5 long distance calls? If you have it in hand, why don't you just take a close look at the assembly code on the barrel, look for 2 alpha characters just ahead of the receiver on the left side, and post them. Or, better yet, post a close-up picture of the area of the barrel where the assembly code should be.
The information that you've reported about this rifle raises a red flag for me, therefore my recommendation remains Caveat Emptor!
Jeff
PS: I live in Millard, zip code 68135, so if you want to bring it over, I'd be happy to look at it for you.

Biden's most truthful quote ever came during his first press conference, 03/25/21. Drum roll please...... "I don't know, to be clear." and THAT is one promise he's kept!!!

I never saw a price on this - what's he asking for it? is there a price on this? I'm a little curious too.....enough talk about date codes, post a pic and a price!! =========================== I'm really trying to get better pictures; current owner lives in CONNEAUT, OH 44030. He can't hear very well on the phone and the wife needs a magnifying glass to see/read...it has been a struggle. They did send me some pix's but they are too big...but I am working on it.. Last month I bought a very ltd model 700 CDL 308 from them...I guess only a few hundred of this model 308 were made..

B F* K
*The elderly lady thru a M-glass believes this is an F but it may be an E...she was not sure...she is sure of the B & K...
Here is a compiled description:
Rem 700, 264, Stn-Stl.
A) Was Blue over stainless steel, Bluing removed.
B) 5 digit serial: 88--7.
C) Barrel code is BFK.
D) Barrel length 24�.
E) Open sights.
F) Walnut stock pressed checkering.
==================================
I emailed current owner asking for a selling price and I presented the concern mentioned here that collector value is diminished because the Bluing was removed. Once I get the asking price information I will post all info here and then I will be out of the loup.
