As far as I can tell, the Remington repair codes are of little use to us. They give us the date that Remington did some work but nothing more. I have a Parker with two repair codes and I asked a person at Remington what was done to the gun giving the ser# and date give by the code..... Remington can't tell me because they don't have those records. I took a chance and contacted the Remington museum and they looked and couldn't give me any information either.

Too bad they can't tell us what took place, information lost to father time I guess.

PGCA home page has, on the left side of the page, a column of info on certain info.
Page down to the Remington Parker info--it is rather sparse but that is all that I have found.
Talked to Remington yesterday, they say that they have no info

Where i find repair codes useful is just to suggest that some repair work was in fact done by Remington.

Ie: if a gun has reblued barrels with a weep hole drilled and repair codes, likely remington.

If a gun books as a meriden built gun with double triggers and it has a Parker single in it now and also has repair codes, likely remington.

If a gun left meriden as an extractor gun and now has ejectors and repair codes, likely remington.

If you met all your girlfriends at family reunions, likely a redneck.

Birmingham proof marks, post 1954. (BNP surmounted by a crown) The R surmounted by a crown is the post 1925 repair proof mark, also for Birmingham.

Note the small "crossed swords" symbol. If the letters on either side of the swords are U B, then that proof was applied in 1969.

On second glance, the letters look like U C, which is 1993...
