Just found a 510 Targetmaster, has some very light surface rust but no pitting and the Bore is bright and shiny. Stock was in great shape. Paid a whopping $99 for it. Shoots great. May have a Gunsmith Shop re-blue it if possible.
My first rifle also. I received it from my Great Uncle from Chicago in about 1962 .. I still have it and it shoots wonderful, tight pattern ... Still my favorite rifle Mine is a 1941
they're little tack drivers. there's enough meat at the receiver to have Weaver cut in for mounting a scope, sacrilege to some but I'll say go for it. that long barrel will group *really* tight at 100 yards
Longer barrel won’t usually add accuracy when using a scope .. it’s the longer sight radius that makes longer barreled rifles easier to shoot accurately.
I have a similar remi but it has a fault when tightening the screw that joins the barrel with the wooden body, it stops firing, it housed it a bit and it works again. What do you think is the problem?
@@wind-solar yupyup, good visual inspection and by feel too with a couple of patches on the cleaning rod (after really cleaning). is the rifling grabby? is the drag/tension consistent end to end? if it looks and feels good like that you have a little gem. 1995 mine got turned (slow rev sanded in lathe), and re-blued. not a big or difficult job, didn't pull receiver+barrel apart just drive out the front site and replace it after same way. do yourself or not expensive to have done being so simple. yours there looks to be in good shape like mine was/is, refinish the stock any stain color you like. mine has the drilled+tapped side mount 3/4" scope ring setup, recently gave it a cheaper+new 3-7X 20mm scope is plenty nice on it. still need to really dial it in again at 65 yards with Blazers.
Don't know why I said Winchester at the end. 😆
I have a 510 here in Arizona. Takes me back to my childhood. It was my first firearm.
I have the model 511...same gun w/ detachable magazine. Best .22 ever in my opinion. Yours is a beauty.
Cool! I was glad to find this 80 year old peice in such nice condition.
Very cool gun I have one built in 47 I paid 100 dollars for it 6 years ago ✌

I love all old quality.22s
Nice find
My first rifle. Received it around 1960. From late 1940s

same but 1973 age 11 and still got. they sure named it right!
@@flashdonat My son has mine now. It shoots straight as an arrow. I had to get another one cuz I missed mine.
Many double barrel shotguns have an automatically engaging safety too
I have a 511 Squirrel Master that looks the same except it has a clip that holds 5 rounds.
Nice!

How did you tell how old it is? I can’t find date codes on mine

How much would you be asking for this Remington 510 shown in the video?
How can u tell when it was made
There's a date code on the receiver which is really easy to find on the internet and decode the year.
Thanks for checking out the video!
Did you end up keeping this one?
Yes!
I see you have both confederate flags proudly displayed: the stars and bars below, and the surrender flag above.
It's all about diversity in this day and age right?
How did you examine the bore? Could you explain?
With a bore light inserted into the breach.

Which is the lowest setting on the rifle?
Injure or maim.
Have same rifle I don't like the automatic safety but it's not big deal because only have one round at at time anyway
lots of shooting it and it becomes a reflex action after pointing down range.
yes it was annoying sometimes before being used to it like that.
