Exactly! I have a Remington 581, the first gun I ever bought. I was 13 when I bought it new in the spring of 1980. The date stamp in front of the serial number indicates a 1980 year of manufacture.

But go to Remington's web site and they say the gun was discontinued in 1978, which is obviously not true!
