Answer Do you have the correct model #?. I am not aware of any Remington.22 rifle with a 672 designation. Unless there is a very late model from Remington with that model number, I believe you are referring to their model 572 rifle. The M/572 was a PUMP repeater that was initially produced in t he 1950's, in various grades and is, or was until the last year or two, still being manufactured. Serial numbers were not required on.22 rifles up until December of 1968, when the infamous 'Gun Control Act of 1968' was passed.
If you do indeed actually have a model 572 PUMP rifle, and you can not find the serial number, you most likely have a unit manufactured prior to 12/68, since all M/572 rifles with serial numbers have them very plainly stamped on the side of the receiver. The serial number should be easy to find if it's not and it's a rimfire prior to 1968 it very well may not have one. Pre-serial# Remington rifles had a date code (which will only tell you date of manufacture) It is two tiny letters on the rear left side of the barrel. (Mine happens to be k G which equals may, 1960) I found the Remington date code chart online, but I don't have it on this computer or I would send it to you.
(Just Google Remington date code) Hope that is what you were looking for. Terry The chart can be found on the Remington Society of America and only rifles made since 1921 have barrel codes.
