Dave, that must be the production date code as there is no 3 to indicate a repair or service... but you knew that.

Yes. FWIW from my observations it appears that early in the Remington years they put the production date code near the back --
237149 08a T in circle barrel steel, KD K = May, D = 1935 yellow arrows.jpg and later it is farther forward adjacent to the cocking hook. Perhaps the difference between Meriden and Ilion? |
