Code on old Remington Model 572 .22 pump action rifle

[Eiffelman]

I am having some difficulty interpreting the code letters on the barrel of an old Remington Model 572 .22 Pump action rifle The code letters are CFW on the left side of the barrel near the receiver

I believe the C stands for April and the F for the year of manufacture 1959 but cannot figure out the W. Anyone know what the W stands for? Would greatly appreciate any help in figuring out the W

the rifle is in beautiful condition and was hardly used.

According to remingtonsociety.org it’s the initial of the person that assembled the rifle

some times when sent back in for repair or warranty work. They’d put a second stamp. Sometimes also they’d stamp a month and year stamp. Does this rifle have a serial number?

 

[Eiffelman]

No this rifle does not bear a serial number

I believe it is 65 years old based on the coding

You’re welcome sir

Pre 68,.some manufacturers didnt use serial.numbers. i have a 572 receiver in good shape that has none. No barrel, was a replacement part way back? So have no code to date it exact.
