Thought I'd post these and see who had what, mine is "PG", no serial numbers = June 1960
Actually, the key to manufacture date on your Remington Nylon 66 is not the serial number, but a stamping on the barrel. There will be two letters, the first being the month, and the second being the year. Here's a quick rundown.
The month codes are B=Jan L=Feb A=Mar C=Apr K=May P=Jun O=Jul W=Aug D=Sep E=Oct R=Nov X=Dec
As you will note, this forms the acronym BLACKPOWDERX, which is easy to remember.
The year codes are E-1958, F-1959, G-1960, H-1961, J-1962, K-1963, L-1964, M-1965, N-1966, P-1967, R-1968, S-1969, T-1970, U-1971, W-1972, X-1973, Y-1974, Z-1975, O-1977 ,Q-1978 ,V-1979 ,A-1980, B-1981, C-1982, D-1983, E-1984, F-1985, G-1986, H-1987, I-1988, J-1989, K-1990. Note that there are duplicates.
Early guns had no serial number.
Mid-production guns had no-prefix serial numbers.
Later production guns had A-prefix serial numbers.
Light or partial stampings can be confusing.
View carefully with a magnifier. The two letters are right in front of the rear sight along the barrel on the left side of the barrel.
