General Discussion / serial numbers again for R51G2 Smoke
December 19, 2020, 07:39:22 PM
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.
