How to "date" my Remington R1 1911

[BigRich]

Would you please help me determine the manufacture date of a Remington R1 1911? The serial number is RH04###A . Three digits near the end left out for security reasons.

I can’t find any Remington decoder charts that make sense of this serial number. If there is a chart that I overlooked, please include it with the answer if you don’t mind.

I wrote an email to [email protected] but no one replied to it.



Thank you.

There isn’t a reliable public decoder for the R1 series. RH prefixes were used in modern production batches. Best option is RemArms support with the full serial for confirmation.

Thanks Kent. That explains why I could not find a decoder.

I emailed Remington before posting this and they did not respond.
