Just Received Letter

[Frank G Riess]

Not sure where to look for Remington Repair code or what it might look like. There is a large 3 with a small 10 next to it on right barrel flat and a X on front barrel lug.

That info is on the home page in the tree on the right, copy attached Frank.
The 3-10 numbers you referenced are the unstruck barrel weight.

Page 199 of TPS notes: "Barrels should measure to two full-inch intervals, plus or minus one eighth of an inch." (Obviously, as noted, there are the occasional odd lengths.) There is mention of early guns (the 1880s) having barrels shortened by cutting off ends damaged in finishing.

The barrel flat repair code markings are a series of numbers and letters on the bottom of the left barrel flat, which I have circled in this picture. The four numbers/letters on the left, EPP3, are what would be typically found on guns that were returned to Remington for repair work. In this case the E is October and the PP is 1945. The 3 means it was received by the service department and that's all we know about it. Nothing about what was done is known.
