Remington 742 Serial Number Dating

Manufacturer/Trademark – Remington Model/configuration – Model 742 (A) Woodmaster semi-automatic rifle.30-06 cal., with 22 inch bbl., and blue finish. Serial Number – A6909506 mfg. Circa August, 1974. Additional Information – open sights, 4 shot box mag., gas operated, checkered pistol grip stock. The 742's tolerances were loosened a bit also so it was less sensative than the 740 had been to slight variations in the barrel nut's tightness. The 742 was offered in the.308 Winchester,.30-06 and.280 Remington chamberings. The.244 Remington chambering was renamed as the 6mm Remington. Still, the bolt lugs battered the reciver rail, however. Fortunately for collectors, it is not difficult to determine a rifle's age, as beginning in 1921, Remington began imprinting serial numbers on the barrel of each rifle it produced. These numbers – along with some basic knowledge about the rifle model itself – is all that the collector needs in order to determine the age of his rifle. It also does not have a jeweled bolt, serial number is inthe lower 300,000 range. And ports an early K12 Weaver scope on redfield rings and bases. The barrel code is ULRA. Now U doesn't fit in with the month code which is the first part of the date. It is however a mark that Remington uses on the bases of its.22 ammo.
