Rem 700P query

[ASKJesse]

I am building up my precision rifle (purchased secondhand) and, I have read the many posts about 700 barrel stamps, codes & significance which prompted me to research mine. Would I be correct in ASSuming that my 700P was built in April, 1999?

Yes

Thank you for the confirmation.

Nice rifle!

Thank you. I have been saving/starving & piecing it together. All that is left, is the base, a set of rings, ammo & of course, time to utilize it.

Enjoy the crap out of it.

Much more satisfaction..saving and getting what you want rather than settling.

There are two date codes present, AO and CT. I thought i read somewhere that if two codes are present then first, AO was manufacture date, and the second was when the rifle was sent back to Remington for something.

That is a 40, Assembly(?).

Ah, nevermind!

From my observations (which are likely not that many) the 40 (or ”AO”) would be out of place for a date code. Too close to the barrel shoulder. It makes little difference however, that date would have been March ‘96.
