Trying to identify .22 "US Property"

[wes350x]

Hello everyone, I have tried to find out information about this .22 bolt action with little to no markings. It has a Remington magazine and is stamped "US property" above the receiver. The front bead sight was missing so a local gun seller rigged me up something for now. It has been sitting in my gun cabinet for years and shoots well, just can't find anything other than it appears to be a Remington 500 series. The color and length of the barrel plus no other markings are stumping me. Ill take as many pics as needed.


Any help?
Thanks

Is there any barrel markings i.e. (barrel address or date code)? It looks like a Remington model 513 which were used by the military as training rifles.

Don’t think so

I agree with Mike, This 513 bolt handle is different than the other 500 series 22's.

That is a Model 513-T It was the only version that the US Military used in that series in mass. The 513S and the 521T share the same bolt handle so it is not an indicator, and the same receivers; only the combination of the handle and the receiver stamped "US Property " indicates it is the Military 513T. The Barrel is not the original unless someone filed and sanded off all of the factory stamps.

If you Google Military TM 9-280, you will have the Military Technical Manual that shows this rifle.
