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.

History and design The Remington 572 was introduced in 1954 as a successor to the as the M572A having the look and feel of the Remigton 870 shotgun. Weighing in at 5 lbs., the rifle is a 'hammerless' style, meaning the hammer is contained within the action and ejection is through the side as opposed to the 'through the top' design of the Model 121. This allows the top of the receiver to be grooved for scope mounting and keeps spent brass from hitting the shooter's face.
A lightweight version known as the 'Fieldmaster' was introduced in 1957. Remington was able to shave 1 pound from the total weight of the M572A by using aluminium to manufacture the receiver, trigger guard, buttplate, and barrel (although the barrel incorporated a steel insert). With its sungrain walnut stock and forend on the M572 and M572 Fieldmaster; the rifle was available in three other color schemes: 'Crow-wing Black'(CWB), 'Buckskin Tan'(BT), and 'Teal-wing Blue'(TWB). These abbreviations served as a suffix to the model number. The M572TWB was discontinued in 1960 and the M572BT and M572CWB were last offered in 1962. In 1966, Remington introduced the BDL or 'Deluxe' rifle to supplement the 572A and 572SB. The BDL featured a ramp front sight with gold bead, a fully adjustable rear sight modeled after the sight used on Remington 700 big-game rifle, and a higher-grade walnut forearm and straight-comb butt stock with impressed checkering.
In 1991, the walnut butt stock of the BDL Deluxe version was altered to incorporate a Monte Carlo comb to improve cheek weld when using the rifle with a telescopic sight, and the impressed checkering was altered to machine-cut checkering. Current Production Rifles In 2017, after complaints that the Monte Carlo comb made the rifle difficult to use with open sights, Remington returned to a straight comb stock design for current production BDL rifles. The BDL is the only 572 model currently in production. References. Marcot, Roy Martin (2005). The history of Remington Firearms. Globe Pequot.
