The gun has a really neat cartridge lifter system which protects the cartridge as it is fed into the chamber. Barrel's are 24" and are fairly med/heavy contour. These rifles are extremely accurate.
While fairly collectible, the standard model doesn't fetch big prices in the US....around $135-$200 for one in fairly good condition, maybe about $400 for one in mint condition. This is what I have seen anyway. The 341P is another story. This comes with a peep sight. These command bigger resale value and are way more collectible. I would love to find one locally. I see them on eBay time to time but the whole shipping to an FFL etc plus buying a gun I cannot handle etc put's me off.
As far as I know, none of these were D&T'd for scope mounts other than the PT model.....nor do they have dovetails for a rear sight. The peep sight model P's are D&T'd on the side of the receiver for the peep sight unit.
There was also a 341 SB which stands for Smooth Bore and they were meant for use with shotshells.
My advice to you, if the gun is stock, would be to not refinish it, re-blue it, alter it etc etc. Leave it as is. Clean it up and oil it and at the most hand rub the stock with some tung oil mixed with ArmorAll. Birchwood Casey TruOil works nice also but perhaps do not go crazy on the stock. For sure do not sand it down. Unless of course that has been done already and it has lost it's collector value. Enjoy the old gal for what she is, a piece of firearm history...... and go down and smoke some folks with modern .22's who think you have shown up with a clunker. For sure....please post some pics of it. I'm dying to see it. Why'd you think it was a 512 Sportmaster?

* the years 1943 though 1953 had double letters: ie, MM = 1943
As maybe seen, the year code letters duplicate; some knowledge of when the model was introduced should resolve the actual year of manufacture.

Re: Post your Rimfire pics here.
Here is a picture of the action - note the bolts dome shape -like a Muslim spire. The firing pin indicator comes out there to show cocked position. The usual under barrel mag. This is what I saw on net as a 512 ?. The stock is something I found and modified to fit a 5 yr old. The original stock is in storage. From that action - what is it.

Re: Post your Rimfire pics here.
I have a Remington 512 Sports-master exactly the same as this one below. I had a scope put on mine, tube takes 17-18 rounds. Very reliable great little shooter. Inherited mine from my grand father, the greatest man I ever knew will never sell this rifle as its my only memory of him.

Tree man, all the info is written on top of the barrel just in front of the action. It will be probably under the scope objective. If it hasn't been defaced, it's all there. That rifle is a Remington. It should say......Remington Sportmaster or Targetmaster etc along with the model number.........512, 581,341 etc etc and also the caliber and what it shoots eg .22 Short, Long, Long Rifle.
So what is it?
The only thing suspicious to me is the trigger guard looks different.

Re: Post your Rimfire pics here.
I just bought a Henry H001 lever action. I don't have it in hand yet waiting for the paperwork. See the link here.
http://www.henryrifles.com/rifles/le...tion-22-rifle/
I test fired it in the shops range and its really smoothe and perfect for me as a leftie.
What's the price of .22 ammo these days?
I did a trigger job on a buddies Marlin M60 which we then tested using Aguila Colibri ammo. That stuff is really quiet and ok up to about 10m.
