Remington Model 511 Scoremaster
These are probably best known for the beehive bolt and for being boringly reliable.
The Model 511 was part of a popular series of Remington rimfire rifles that included the 510, 511, 512, 513, and 514.
Manufactured from 1939-1963.
This one dates to Jan 1948
Total Production: Approximately: 381,267
Bolt-action
25-inch tapered round barrel
6 or 10-round box magazine
Made to feed .22 Short, Long, and Long Rifle cartridges
The later Model 511X allegedly sported improved sights, and it was manufactured in 1965 and 1966.
Simple rocker-type safety at the right rear of the action. It blocks the trigger but does not lock the bolt.
When cocked, the rear of the firing pin protrudes from the back of the bolt shroud, providing a visual and tactile “cocked” indicator.
Other variants:
Model 511P
The Model 511P had the same specs as the standard model but with a patridge-type blade front sight and a "point-crometer" peep rear sight.
Model 511SB
The Model 511SB was the SmoothBore model (Garden Gun) with open sights.
Model 511X
The Model 511X featured improved sights and was produced from 1965 until 1966.
