Barrel Roll stamping ?

[Austin W Hogan]

There is nothing in writing about this but it appears Remington stopped roll marking barrels with the move to Ilion and use of Remington barrels. Remington cataloged Parkers simply as A ,B,C, D, G, V and not as Acme, Titanic or Vulcan. There is no s/n cut off because Remington continued to fit Meriden barrels which were on hand.

There was a Remington memo noted in the Parker Pages article on the cessation of the Parker Operation indicating Remington felt nut bored Parker barrels inferior. If you have a barrel choked from the muzzle, it is probably Ilion production.

Best, Austin
