Might have solved it. Found this on Wikipedia: As the Scoremaster 511 was manufactured before 1968, these rifles do not have serial numbers. A two or three letter date code (indicating manufacture date) is stamped on left side of the barrel next to the receiver. Mine is stamped 30!
I was given some guns today from an aging, ailing friend. Several of these were rimfires. Here is the challenge: Where do you find the serial number on a Remington Scoremaster model 511?
Welcome fellow Texan! There are many great tactical rimfires out there, each and every one will come with personal opinions. So, here's mine. :) In the "tactical" realm, I highly recommend you look at the SigSauer 522. If you can stand to start off with a more "standard" style rifle, the 10/22 is probably the most configurable and customizable rifle out there. It is also one hell of a decent shooter right out of the box. Don't discount it just because it's not loaded with black plastic and pic rails all over it. :) Happy research / shopping !!
So, I'm taking the GSG 1911 out later today, after class. In preparation I was cleaning it last night and realized, all barrels are threaded!! All I need it their specific adapter to get me to 1/2x28 for my suppressor.
That same buddy told me, however, that he is thinking about getting one of these, and since he has no suppressors, would be willing to upgrade to the other model, and trade barrels with me. :beer:
So, it turns out I'm an idiot. For what would have been an extra $13, I declined to pick up the model with the faux suppressor. I though, "Who needs a faux suppressor??". Now, what I neglected to realize right then was, HELLO!, a barrel with 1/2x28 threads. Unreal. My buddy mentioned it to me later that day. I could stick my SWR Spectre right on there. :bang:
