I recently came into possession of a Remington 510 Targetmaster, and I’m trying to figure out when it was manufactured. I’ve done a bit of digging, but I’m a bit overwhelmed with all the info out there.
What I Know
The firearm has some distinct features that I believe can help narrow down its age.
I’ve seen references to specific date codes but haven’t been able to find a comprehensive guide on how to interpret them.
What I Need
Any tips or resources?
Are there specific markings I should look for?
Does anyone know which year(s) these were predominantly produced?
Additional Information:
The condition of the rifle is good, and I would love to find out more about its history.
I’m also interested in knowing how the manufacture date could affect its value for collectors.
If anyone on here has experience with the Remington 510, I’d greatly appreciate your insights. Thanks in advance for your help!
Hey there! You can find the manufacture date of your Remington 510 Targetmaster by looking at the serial number. If you provide that, I might be able to help narrow it down!
Yes, I agree with gburch! The Remington Society even has a list of serial numbers with corresponding years. You can check their website for more details.
The Remington 510 Targetmaster was produced from 1939 to 1968, making it quite significant in American firearms history. Knowing your specific manufacture date can greatly impact value and collectability. Have you checked the serial number?
Don’t forget, the condition of the firearm also plays a huge role in its value. A pristine 510 from the 40s could fetch a handsome price at auction! Have you looked into its history?
That’s a fantastic story! Firearms with a personal history often fetch higher prices because they become more than just a weapon—they become a piece of family history as well.
If you’re thinking of selling it, I’d recommend getting it appraised first. The market can be tricky! Any enthusiasts around here have thoughts on the pricing these days?
I suspect the market is a bit mixed right now. Some collectors might overpay for certain models, but overall, you must be careful not to fall for inflated prices!
