I inherited an old one. It doesn't appear to have a serial # in the place Remington says there should be. Bore is also either shot out or it's a smooth bore. Did they make these without a serial #?
Where the serial number should be there's only a single digit. It also doesn't have any of the date codes on left side of barrel. It's blank there. Further down towards the muzzle it does say Remington, etc |

I had a Remington 514 single shot .22 rifle with no serial number.
I believe the Gun Control Act of 1968 required serial numbers. Not required prior to that. |

Not too many.22 LR barrels get shot out. Could it be full of lead?
Either way maybe the bird shot shells would perform better in a smooth bore |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Topper1: Not too many.22 LR barrels get shot out. Could it be full of lead? Either way maybe the bird shot shells would perform better in a smooth bore It may be. The barrel says it accepts 22LR but the chamber wouldn't close on one. Used a copper brush and it now accepts them but still binds on some. I think I need to find some Butch's bore shine through it and let it soak for awhile. |

Remington made a smoothbore version of the rifle from 61-79. It it doesn't have a serial number, that puts it pre-68.
The bluing of those guns back then is way better than anything you will find today - on average. -shooter |
