Picked up this Remington 550-1 semi auto 22 at the pawn shop today. I been wanting a good plinking 22 for a while but I'm an old metal and wood guy and don't think much of the the plastic guns on the market today. And, I can't see putting 4 or 5 hundred $ on a plinker.
But any way. I'm trying to date this thing. There is no serial number I can find. I know that Remington put date codes on the left side of barrel on long guns. 3 or 4 letters. But in that area ( or anywhere on the barrel) all I find is what looks like a small o followed by two larger 7s. o77. I think they stopped making the 550-1 in 1970 if I'm not mistaking. Am I missing something ?
