Ok, I have always know I was slow, so help me out here. About 2 or 3 years ago my brother-in-law won a nice Rem BDL 270, scroll work on the hindge plate, top of the receiver, very nice. Last year I bought it from him and I was interested to find out when it was made. Looked at the sticky and then on the left side of the barrel. Now I am confused. Can some one help me.
Reading from left to right (muzzle to receiver) there is what appears to be a tool mark (sort of a V shape), then in small letters xs , all of these are in line but are slightly angled toward the top of the barrel. Then in larger letters is stamped DE parallel to the bore. I read this as the rifle was made in Sept of 1984. Is that right? The serial number is E65xxxxx.
If I am correct then I wonder where this thing was for all those years?
