Remington Model 510 Serial Number

The Remington 510 (and its brothers the magazine fed 511 & 512) were fantastic.22 rimfire rifles. Despite the fact that they were considered to be 'economy' rifles by Remington, they were, are still are, great shooters.There were a lot of cost cutting measures such as stamped steel parts and plain finishes used to keep the unit price down but the one place Remington didn't cut corners was the barrel.The 510/511/512 Remington's will out-shoot a LOT of more expensive rifles. My grandfather had a 511 and it was deadly accurate.

I've seen some that due to abuse and neglect, would no longer shoot well but the ones that have been cared for will shoot better than most of the people holding them.The 510/511/512 Remington's were great examples of American design and manufacturing. They were a lot of gun for the money.Texas by God - thank you for sharing your find and thank you for taking the time to save an piece of American history. First rifle I sent lead downrange with back in the 60's. Dad's Remmy 512.Was always told no High velocity stuff once I was allowed to hunt jacks. I used Winnie T22 wich I feel was a much better then than now.seem to remember hearing that they changed where and how it was made in the 70's.?well anyways I picked up a few used Barrels to turn/ modify for a.25 Benjamin Marauder (PCP rifle slightly modded to 60fpe).one is a Remmy 514 barrel (1965 oct if I read code EM10 right). I was also told when young that the 5teen series all had somewhat tight groove dimensions.slugged the 514 with a NOE 225-37-fn and got.2213.So I am wondering did any of you ever slug your.22 barrels Remmy or not.

Picked up a Remington Target Master model 510 last weekend at a gun show. Been looking for a single shot bolt.22 for a while. Bore looks perfect, bolt seems to lock up tight, stock may have been refinished at some point though. I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet maybe this weekend.The bolt handle seems a bit loose in its hole but not terribly so.

Is anybody familiar with this rifle? Is the handle being a little loose normal?

If not can it be tightened?Also I cant find a serial number on it, I haven't disassembled it yet, is the serial number hidden somewhere?Thanks.

Click to expand.Thanks c3, the serial number thing is only really for my records, I have a list of everything currently in the safe by model number and serial number. I have had 2 pistols stolen, almost certainly by a close family member who is in prison for something else right now. The cops have the model and serial numbers for those guns, hopefully they will turn up not having been used in a crime.Have you ever made a 'distinguishing mark' in a non obvious place on one of these non serial numbered rifles. If you have please pm with the best way to do this. I don't want you to give away your secrets on an open forum.
