It's from a very well know gun dealer/store in Huntsville that's been there forever. When I asked him where it's from he didn't think it was from an individual and said it's  from a dealer or factory sell from what he thought.  This gun store buys lots of bulk stuff and sells a ton of stuff.  He was just one of 20 workers in the store.  I was just trying to get my hands on a Huntsville gun and I mentioned on above post that I was there for the 45 from Huntsville first because of a flyer he put.  They were gone instantly, so I asked if they had a 9mm by chance since I missed out many times before and he laughed and said no way but then started to walk to next customer and went wait, yes, we have two used ones.  I thought to myself, it's a return because of the issues they have but wanted to look at them and never thought about what he said earlier from a dealer or factory sell.  One was a black Gen 1 version that was not built in Huntsville I then picked up the smoke and asked if it came with anything else.  He told me it did have a box and another magazine, so I bought one more to make three.  When he handed me the box walking out the door, I then noticed it had blemish typed on his sticker over the factory sticker.  I thought that was odd because it was a used gun and of course it might have a scratch on it but maybe he did it that way to show it on box to not confuse any workers it was not new because except for a slight scuff mark it's hard to tell from box or gun that's it's used.  It still could have had lots of rounds through it getting tested then put new magazine in box or scratched from photo shoots.

That's interesting and makes me question why somebody wouldn't just buy that in house since it was a photo shoot gun or one of the first set aside for prototype work but I'm happy I have it now.  I have run some rounds through it and it does jam up about 75% of the time.  It will not load after an empty magazine is replaced without a manual racking it closed and doing it again because of the strength needed for closing.  I will look into the videos of work that needs to be done to make it fire better dealing with the magazine but anything dealing with the gun itself I may hold off because of it's possible history and don't want to devalue the gun.  If you have any thoughts about that please let me know.  This will not be my carry gun when I do so it's more of a had to have it gun.  The gun feels good in your hands and I was pretty accurate first time out so I'm pleased either way having a Huntsville gun, possible prototype & shoots accurate.  Thanks for the info and you guys are great.

Update on gun digest price book. No mention about Huntsville as I thought.  Still has info about years made for G1 & G2.  My uneducated guess is they could be frames sitting there with serial numbers and not assembled for months later because of all the recall work.  From info I have seen on this forum it's not easy to find a month made from serial numbers and get someone to respond from Remington.  Hope the images can help someone.

Sebvox,

Yes mine was a complete box with everything in there except for the red wire lock and was bought at a gun store.  It was marked and was classified as a 96234-Blemish according to worker and on a label put over the original label.  It was put over on the used gun side out of sight.  They had a R51G1 from NC and this one.  You can see in picture it has a slight mark that made it not perfect so I assumed it was why it couldn't be sold as a brand new gun. I actually went that day trying to buy a 45 1911 gun made from Huntsville from an add the store put out stating last ones from Huntsville. He said he would go check and hunted for the 45 1911 but said walking away that a few days earlier they all sold out quick even before the add came out.  I was about to walk away and decided to asked if he had any 9MM just for the heck of it, because that's what I have wanted all along.  He said, we have one classified as a used Blem.  I was excited even if it was a used return and wanted to take a chance and I did.  I cannot seem to find a good enough mark inside the chamber to think it's even been shot and my co-worker believed that also.  Either way, the small mark is not enough to really detract me from grabbing it, and it could possibly be a put together from spare parts or something from the factory.  I'm not sure but unless it doesn't fire or work I'm happy and wanted a Huntsville gun.  I'm not an expert on these but I still need to take apart and check wear and get to know the gun and run some rounds through it to verify.  Ammo is crazy high these days and puts a strain on just shooting for fun for testing.  I will scan the page from my co-workers book and mention the actual name of the book etc. I need to verify anyway if all G2 smokes are made in Huntsville or not and if it was actually written in the digest.

Gentlemen, I have a Smokey R51, G2 from Huntsville and its #H014XXX.  I saw post on members "Sebvox" and "R51FAN2017" about serial numbers and wanted to put my 2 cents worth if they are building info on serial numbers.  Just curious about the date and month mine was made also but really just wanted a Huntsville gun and it was important on the purchase and then I just thought it would be easy to find the serial number breakdown o the net and it turns out to be harder than I thought.  The G1 had issues and I feel bad for Remington and the stigma that started to get out there but still wanted one if they worked it out. Thought I had time and then the plant started to close.  I finally found one and mine does not fit into your number ranges from the comments unless I'm seeing it wrong.   I asked a friend that uses a certain gun dealer that handled those guns and he mentions that all of the R51s frames, some were made in NC or Huntsville, "stamping" a Huntsville gun in NC but assembled in Huntsville.  Not sure how accurate but he said if they have the H on the serial number its a Huntsville gun.  He said all the smoke ones were marked HSV but they used the same serial prefix across both locations?  My co-worker has a new gun digest book and he says all R51G2 Smoke guns are from 2018 thru 2019 and I think from Huntsville. I haven't seen the page he was reading from but could scan it when I get back to work to confirm that smoke is only Huntsville but I think I have seen a post of a smoke that was from NC?  I just wanted to mention that mine was a different serial number range from the post back in April from "SEBVOX" when he was trying to compile a list.

Hope this helps or starts more comments on finding out the facts. 

Thanks for letting me join the forum. Recently bought a R51 G2 Smoke and also wanted one since they came out with being a new design.  Wanted one made or assembled in Huntsville plant and finally bought one.  Hope to add some info or get some info about these guns in future.
