Perhaps this page at the Remington Society will help. Your 721 looks to be from March, 1951.

While the Remington m24 wiki page notes that they were manufactured from 1922 to 1935 there is no serial numer lookup. I haven't seen a model 24 in some time, it is possible that i has no serial number. A great many manufacturers didn't number their .22's until the GCA '68 required the to do so.

i saw that everytime i tried to do this. what that shows, if im not mistaken, is it is a site showing code for repaired remingtons

You might look at that again.

Using barrel codes (such as those listed above) to date the manufacture are reliable on Remington rifles...

As I read it, the repair date would be added to the manufacture date line.

i will certainly do that. thanks
