To determine the age of the Remington use this - http://www.remingtonsociety.org/manufacture-dates/. For some history try https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remington_Model_30.
Hope this helps!

After today, it's all historical.
The problem I am having is there are no letter codes with the serial number which contradicts what I am understanding. The Model 30 started production in 1921... same time as the letter date codes. This rifle has no letter date code.

Try contacting Remington at by email at info@remington.com or call them at 1-800-243-9700 Mon-Fri 9-5 EST. They should be able to help.

In Canada a lot of firearms that were made pre wwii had no serial numbers or date codes. I am probably not helping at all but maybe it was destined for the Canadian market?

Had one, can't help on date...shot good after you got used to 2 stage trigger. I remember that it kicked like a stud mule! Traded it for a M70.

Well... I was in contact with Remington Historical. They told me it was a straight model 30 made in 1919. Now I need to put a price on it. Anything special about a 3 digit serial number?
