The model 33 was made from 1932 to 1935. Early production runs did not include serial numbers (they weren't required on small rimfire rifles until 1967 or '68, I think). A total of 263,550 were made. They were offered with a few different rear sight configurations. Some were a special run of target rifles for the NRA (junior division), and a few were made smooth bore for .22 shot shells. You can contact Remington, they would know exactly when your rifle was made, but with that serial number, I'd guess it was late 1934 or early 1935. Twenty years ago you could pick up a decent, working model 33 for about $25 at a gun-show, but they are now becoming collectable...a mint 33 now goes for up to $300.

How much did a gun cost in 1849?
It is difficult to explain, since money was quite different then. A purchase of $50 was a MAJOR purchase then- since the average man would have worked for much of a year to get the $50. A good rifle might be the only gun that a person would buy in his lifetime, and pass that rifle on to a son as a valuable inheritance. Many of the rifles were made- one at a time- by hand. Later as gun making became more mechanized, the cost of a rifle would decrease. Think of the cost of a rifle as being similar to the cost today of a good used car.
When was the ready made gunpowder cartridge invented?

Companies manufacturing such rifles include Barrett, MacMillan, Zastava, NORINCO, Accuracy International, and several others.
