Remington Fieldmaster model 572 .22 Rifle.

[120Rick]

I picked up this model 572 Remington .22 and after cleaning it up found it does not have a serial# anywhere. Was trying to figure out when it was manufactured but without the numbers I can't use the Remington ID. chart to find year of manufacture. This rifle has a alloy action and aluminum barrel, copper in color and sleeved rifling. The tube underneath is chrome and holds 18 shells. It looks almost new in condition and a nice shooting light pump .22 rifle.The grain of the wood in the stock resembles walnut but is blond in color( maybe bleached).Anyway I was wondering if anyone know's of a way to date the year of manufacture on this no number rifle.

Not really. You can be sure it's before 1968. Maybe someone knows when certain features were added or removed. But that would just give a timeframe not exact date.

There should be a pair on letters on he breech end of the barrel , left side. There is a chart that breaks down that code to a month and year. Started in 1921 and was used untill very recently, then reinatated. I will find my link to that chart and post it for you. No serial just means before 1968 ,, in general.

Heres the link, lots of other good info on this site also :)

Oh , and you need to know an approx. period as well, you are looking at 1950 to 1968, that model eplaced the Rem 121 in early 50s.

Thanks for the link. My 572's birthday has been a mystery to me for all these years. It's beautiful for being 59 years old

Might I be so bold as to ask for photo's? We love photo's.:roll:

I have two Remington's, one is a Sport Master and the other a Target Master (I think). Tubular magazine versus a box magazine.

I had one that was bought new in 1962 and was called Buckskin. A black, walnut colored stock one was also offered and called Raven iirc. I dont think they were offered much earlier than that.. I have always regreted selling it as it was a tackdriver that won many backwoods competitions.

I have that identical rifle as well. My great aunt gave it to me in the early 70's. I remember her having me go into the attic to pull down the rifle and in the dim light all I could see was 'rust. When I got it in the light, what a surprise, no rust at all, copper anodized and light color stock. I saw another in a gun store in Millington TN in 77 for sale and I think I saw one of the blue anodized ones somewhere in the 80's. I love it. I think mine is a 59 vintage.

I have got a 572 fieldmaster made in 63 with only a date code, and I have one made in 64 with a serial number.
