I hope that was a rhetorical question. The amount of pressure necessary to impress the tiny font of the Rem repair code stamps is only a minuscule fraction of the pressure necessary to impress the proof stamp.

Take a pencil eraser and push it against your finger tip. Now take a common pin and apply the same pressure. If that doesn't help explain it, try the above test on your.....oh, never mind

1. No Edgar, it wasn’t a rhetorical question at all.

2. But you will notice that the Remington date codes were stamped to a greater depth, for the most part, than the Overload Proved stamps so what does this say to you Edgar?

3. I couldn’t find a pencil Edgar… (please refrain from a witty reply… it’s too late to match wits with you.)

Re: 1, I was giving you the benefit of the doubt.
2, The smaller the font (sq. area of the stamp) The less force required to
be effective, and the less mass it will displace.
3, I can send you one.
