This has been brought up many times in the past, and while no one has brought forth a definitive answer, I am quite certain it has nothing to do with a return to the Remington factory. I have a few guns with this mark, and have had a few others which have moved on, and in two cases, I can most positively say the guns have never been to Remington. Had a gun gone to Ilion for any sort of repair work, it would have Remington repair codes stamped on the left barrel flats.
