REMINGTON BARREL STAMPING
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
