I found a 12 gauge 870 locally kind of beat up but just what I am looking for to put an 18.5" barrel on it and extended magazine tube. The barrel date code is very clearly marked "XDD", but that code doesn't fit any date code listing I have seen. The S/N on the receiver is 119330V.
Does anyone have any idea of what date code "XDD" means. It should mean December 19??, right?
Otherwise it's not that big a deal. I have several other Remington's like Model 14s and model 8s and otherwise have no problem understanding the date codes.
Thanks for your help.
