Later in November, 1962. First year rifle. Looks to be a BDL "custom deluxe". Should have desirable 20 inch barrel with a hooded front sight, hinged floorplate, factory sling swivel studs and white line spacers on pistol grip and butt pad.

Unsure what to say. 7 digit serial numbers did not start until 1969 with 6200000. Until then only 6 digits were present. No 700 serial numbers started with a 6 prior to then. Some clues. How many digits of the serial number are hand engraved on the bolt? At the safety, is there an F for fire and S ...

Serial number says July or August, 1970 for a receiver stamp date. There are no "proof" marks on the left side of the barrel. Left side is allocated for assembly stampings. You mite have an OT or WT on the LHS unless it was built in the Custom Shop-then the calibre designation will be irregular ...

Your rifle has a normal serial number of a rifle built in August or September, 1969. Barrel dating on left side should be W or D, S.

No factory removable magazine option. Easily converted to a clip with a BDL style stock and a Coyler KwiK Klip conversion for your calibre.

Your dating is correct. Your rifle is unmolested. Clean then keep the trigger clean and dry. Don't let barrel fluids run into the action and trigger. Practice safe handling and all will be well.

One of just under 6000 made. The first Classic with sights. Please measure your barrel and let us know the length-from the relief hole or carefully with a cleaning rod from the front of the bolt.

Feb 1975, just before the seial number prefixes started. Nice quality piece to have.

1974 ADL, built about a year before the A prefix in the serial numbers.

Barrel markings indicate built/assembled in march 1965. Receiver serial number sorta shows earlier BUT sometimes receivers needed to be tweaked and fall out of sequence. I believe the barrel should be a true 24 inches, rather than the 23.5 as built earlier in the 700 lifeline

Nice sentimental thought. The front sight tells me 721 and not 78. I believe I can make out the rear sight barrel boss with the dovetail sight removed.

Some basic research shows this rifle's serial number begins with an E. The Classics for sale in NA have a C prefix, correct for the time period. I believe you've answered your own question with it being European bound item when produced.

Never has the Nylon 66 ever been advertised and able to shoot anything but for what it is intended to shoot which could be the most common 22LR but gallery guns are chambered for 22 short only. The LR rifles may and likely will jam up with long or short.

The 590 series Remington rimfire rifles all use the same ammunition, and it all should read "5 mm Remington Rimfire Magnum" or "5 mm RFM". AFAIK there is nothing called just standard "5mm". One of the best things Remington did for the rimfire industry that unfortunately failed to gather the ...

Best wishes. I'm in Canada so I'm no real help. As this is more of an information site, unless someone interested spies this post, maybe search out a firearms friendly buy/sell in your area and hopefully you can come up with someone who would like what you have.

Made 41-71. G lines up with only 1960 during this period. W would stand for August
