Title: Back From The Dead 511
Post by: Loose}{Cannon on October 18, 2017, 09:32:06 PM
I grew up shooting a Remington 511 just like this (father still has it), but this one my father picked up in REALLY bad shape for $50 at a gunshow a few years back.  Knowing that all the action parts are cross compatible with remingtons like the 513T and 521T etc, he got it for parts and was stripped down to a rusted barreled receiver and stock.

Eventually, I came across most parts to bring it back to life. I refinished the stock, sanded and blued the barreled receiver, and took a 513T bolt that had a broken handle and re-welded it.  Might do a Black oxide on the handle....

Anywho.... here it is with a 15 rounder I found laying around that needed tweeked also. Headspace checked with my 22lr gauges and test fired.  Shoots great.   wink1
