Can't tell you about the very 1st 40X, but I own #0030 and another one just a hair higher number and saw another lower than these 2; all of them were stamped with the model number. I've owned over 100 and looked at many others and never saw a 40X that wasn't stamped with the model (except a rimfire model that obviously got out the back door before it was finished or even had a serial number). I still wonder if the model # was sanded/buffed off the OP's rifle, since it is a shallower stamp than the Remington stamping above it.

I had a Hart barreled 40X 7.62 repeater in a McMillan OTC stock. It also had a Jewell BR trigger. The person I sold it to mounted a scope, Kryloned the stock, attached a Harris bipod and rebarreled with a Krieger (I think)..... Wish I had it back.......

I think he meant glommed...a Pennsyltucky or NY Appilachian word meaning "grabbed" or "scooped up" or "tooken" with glee

Yes, definitely, I have used it myself to describe getting a hold of something, usually a grabbing action or even to describe the obtaining of knowledge…
Picked it up while growing up in Caifornication… Perhaps it is just not such a common expression ?

I have a 40X that has no markings except the serial number.
It is now my No#1 PD rifle.
It's a 700 variety

I was aware that Hart and Walker worked together on some great rifles and did an AI search. This may or may not be applicable to your rifle, but it is an interesting history.

Early “6mm 250 International” by Mike Walker
One of the first and simplest 6mm International variants was the “6mm 250 International,” conceived by Remington engineer and noted benchrest competitor Mike Walker around the mid-1960s. Walker took a standard .22-250 Remington case, necked it up to 6 mm, and made no other dimensional changes. The result was an exceptionally efficient case that offered excellent accuracy with reduced throat erosion, making it a favorite for competitive shooting where barrel life mattered.

Remington Custom Shop’s 6mm International (.250 Savage Case)
Building on his earlier success, Walker collaborated with the Remington Custom Shop to chamber a second 6 mm International wildcat on the .250 Savage parent case. This version retained the Savage’s original case length but featured a pushed-back shoulder to maximize internal capacity and improve powder burn characteristics. Remington’s custom-chambered examples were later documented in Sierra Bullets’ legacy loading manuals under the designation TA 6mm International.

Good find. Do you think it would have been sold with a Hart barrel?
