Remington 700 - Help with manufacture code

[mmesa005]

I just picked up a 700 in 30-06 and the previous owner recalls it being in his family since the mid 80's.

I copied both the serial number and barrel codes but when I try to decipher using the BLACKPOWDERX decoder my combination of letters and numbers is not in the correct order?

My barrel code is 9KA27

Thanks!

Looks like May of 1980.
