MFG date for Rem 597

[heyjerr]

Trying to figure out the manufacturing date for my stainless Remington 597 in 22LR. Using https://www.remingtonsociety.org/manufacture-dates/ as a resource, I look at the left side of the barrel for a date code rather than use the serial number, but I am left confused.

There is a "2" followed by what looks like "WT in smaller font" and then "14".

August, 1999, the "14" is the assembly number, the "2" is the inspection number.

Okay, the order of the stamps was throwing me off but that makes sense now. Thank you
