I have a Remington 511 Scoremaster that I am not sure works. The gun itself looks like its in decent condition (dated back to July 1945 ~ OPP). Anyway, the safety and trigger seem solid. The bolt is a little loose (my understanding was that is a common problem). The cartridge stays on solid and lines up with the barrel. The barrel and internals look a little dusty...
The firing pin is where my concern lays. It does kick out in the back when i cock the bolt back and the firing pin does go off when I squeeze the trigger. I just am not sure if the pin is long enough to hit the bullet.
I have included pictures
If all is well i planned on throwing some 22lr ammo in it and tying it to a tree and pulling the trigger with some fishing string at a safe distance just in case it blows up. sound good?
