Remington Model 11 Serial Number Date Chart

MODEL 11-87 SERIES

Model 11-87 Premier

  1. The following serial number information is for Remingtion firearms manufactured after 1921. Remingtons manufactured after 1921 have a code located on the left side of the barrel near the frame that identifies the year and month of manufacture. The following letters correspond to the months of the year, for example B=January, L= February and so on.
  2. Please note that many rifles, particularly 22s, did not have serial numbers prior to the 1968 Gun Control Act. Remington added serial numbers in 1967 staring with 400,000. Since year codes are often duplicated, a code letter on a gun with a serial number would be later than 1967 while one without a serial number would be a year prior to 1967.

The old plant ledger available on the Remington Society of America web site begins with serial number 199611 on 30 September 1919, so your gun is likely from the mid-teens. Browning designed shotgun was introduced in 1905 as the Remington Autoloading Gun when the company name was Remington Arms Co.
