Ok folks time is here to go and try to fix a mistake from a few years ago. Long story short my old 510 target master has been through a lot . Part of the stock has termite damage along with drill holes and cracks. The barrel is messed up on a few different levels and the receiver has file marks and rust stains. It still shot , but wanna .....redo it. Anyhow managed to find a very nice Rem510P target master barrel on eBay was professionally cut down to 18" and re crowned with a beautiful blueing job. It's going to require a small about of filing to get it to fit in my 510 recover but from all my research this is pretty normal

Now with the barrel being so nice I really don't want to simply spray paint it and would like to have a recover somone match but as you see the receiver is in a bit if a rough state.
[Linked Image]
Think theirs anyway one could get this in a state where it could be blued to get close to the barrel ? Or some where where it would compliment the barrel ? Was thinking tumbling it in walnut media might work to get it back in shape and one if my managers at work dose gun bluing so theirs that
I'm also planning on scoping it since I've wanted to do it since I first got the gun as a kid and the simple fact the barrel doesn't have a front sight post. Talk in my to some folks and it seems an epoxy mount would be my best bet.
Next thing is the stock think it worth messing with or should I just try and find a new one ? I see them on GunBroker and such fairly reasonably and I kno I can get a customer one from boyds

Not a gunsmith but theirs not any of this in reasonable distance so what y'all think ? Advice ?

Check with Numerich gun parts for a replacement stock. Looks like some stocks on EBay.

I am no gun smith either but that stock needs replaced. The only way you get that receiver and barrel the same color is to remove the blue from the barrel and the rust from the receiver then redo both. Make you a hot tank with the steel from a drum. Buy bluing salts from brownells. Can heat it with a turkey fryer.

Can try this too. Dixie gun works used to describe this method in their catalog they mailed out. https://www.guntechtips.com/bluing/bluing.htm

You can get ammonium nitrate from those cold packs at walmart. Just read the label. The ones you want contain a small pouch of water and ammonium nitrate. You break the water pouch inside the plastic bag and the reaction is cold.

you can buy potassium nitrate on amazon. the spectracide stump killer is pure and cheap.

epoxy scope mount?
When you can screw the rail on top, to convert it to a Grooved Receiver?
Brownells sells those rails.
Do you have 6-48 taps and drill? Gnarly Gorilla has that kit for $11, and so does Brownells of course.

As for that receiver, I would buff it down and let your guy blue it and check the match.
If you didn't like it, you could always spray it.

I collect Remington Master series guns. The 510 is one of the few I don't have. I do have a 511 Scoremaster and they are really nice guns. Also a newer 512 Sportsmaster.

I agree with Danny about the blueing, you'd have to do both the barrel and the receiver to get them to match. That stock looks rough, hard to tell how much internal damage, that would be the deciding factor for me as to whether or not I restore or replace.

If it's not too bad I could pour some black epoxy in there and it might end up looking pretty cool. Would be a lot of work though.


Eh...wot?

Make sure you dis-assemble the bolt and make sure all the rust inside and out is removed. Remember, there is a spring and firing pin inside.
And I know you are aware of this, but never dry fire without a snap cap or something for the firing pin to stop against so it never hits the chamber edge.

I bought an old, old shotgun that was all rusted up. I removed every bit of rust using electrolysis. Google "electrolysis rust removal with washing powder" for the instructions.

Basically, a solution of washing powder in water, a 12V car battery charger, and some wires. It worked amazingly. Had to move the wires around a couple of times to get the electricity to flow to every part of the gun but it only took one day and the rust was gone.

One the rust is gone, I don't know how much pitting you'll have but if the metal is good, you can find home bluing kits that work pretty good. I've done a couple and they weren't factory good but good enough for a gun that gets used.

Or you could do a rust blue on the barrel and receiver at home.You weld so building a boiling tank would be easy for you.
Since the receiver is already off you could probably take it to a machine shop and have it tapped for a rail pretty cheap and you would be sure it was tapped concentric to the rail.with a built tank you could also just do acoustic blue .adios that stock it ain’t worth the trouble or money to fix.

Whatever you do please don’t completely ruin it by trying to polish the receiver in a tumbler. That just ain’t the right way to do it unless you want it to have a ”melted” look....

I am pretty sure I have a solid stock if you need one. I have a whole box full of Remington 22 stocks.


I have nothing clever to put here.

Yeah it's what all the rimfire guys advised. A couple different things can be used apparently and if I ever get sick of the mount I can just hear it off with a torch Drilling and tapping hurts the value yadda yadda. That being said I don't have to tools I'd feel more comfortable with doing such a thing right now. But I am looking at a drill press next pay check if I got enough after bills

It's pretty sound as far as the majority. The termites didn't get very deep in the wood at all. Mabye a 1/4" .I was considering taking a coping saw and drill and seeing if I could make it into one if those sticks with the adjustable cheek peice. Don't seem too hard to do just gotta cut a little this and that ,epoxy in some round stock and rounded nuts....

Honestly I think bluing is the one thing I'm going to let somone else do lol. Seems easy but idk not something I really wanna mess with for a few reasons. I'll try and ask my manager what his rates are.
