Remington 510 Targetmaster

Just a simple review of my old Remington 510 Targetmaster. Its a single shot .22 rifle, nothing exciting but I still think its a great rifle.

i have this same gun, i have no idea how old it is i got it from my step father who just passed away in september.. its got a little bit of rust on the barrel any idea how i could get it off?

@xxxtsnowman420xxx try some good gun oil, and a brass brush, just make sure whateever you use to scrub the barrel with is softer than steel so you dont scuff it up. If you look hard on the left side of the rifle way down where the barrel meets the chamber you 'll find two letters, those two letters are your code for the year and date of manufacture.

my great-grandfather won one of these rifles in a shooting competition back when this rifle was brand new.. three generations later, and it still puts food on the plate

I think I have everyone beat I have 3 510's #1 510 Routledge bore (.22 crimped shotshell). #2 510 standard .22 s/l/lr. Both inherited from my father and I will kill to keep. #3 I found in the mid 90's for $60 a 510X currently wearing a 3x9x40 scope and can fire 1/2" groups at 50 yards all day with CCI Blazers. I'm sure I can tighten that up with a little trigger job, breaks like glass but stiff maybe 6lb pull.

@Mrturkeyhunter100 I'm sure your bolt is original. I have 2 510's that I inherited from my father. #1 is a standard 510 rifle like the video with the same shiny bolt handle. #2 Is a 510 routledge smoothbore (first 12" smoothbore .22 last 12" .410 with shotgun bead sight) designed to fire the original crimped .22 lr shot cartridge, this one has the older blued bolt. My father got the smoothbore as a kid in the early 40's and bought the rifle in 1964. Info I have is the 510 was not made after 62.

And sorry about that first post here the words "lady sedentary" were supposed to say "left side"

[semimech]

Where with this single shot bolt action the gas has nowhere to go so in this type of gun in any caliper there is goin to be more force behind the bullet giving it its fullest potential.

[semimech]

I recently got a model 510 from my grandmother. There is no SN on the gun all I can find is on the lady sedentary right in front of the firing mechanicism is a "pk 4" I think this is the date code but candidate fi d anything about it. From my knowledge about guns this is one if the most accurate 22's ever made because it is a single shot bolt action. Unlike a semi auto where some of the gas from the explosion of gunpowder is used to force the bolt back to eject and reload the gun.

@xxxtsnowman420xxx best thing to use for rust removal would be some triple 000 steel wool that will remove the rust and polish the steel

[Mrturkeyhunter100]
