The price posted in the ad is fair, especially if you want to add a 513T to your collection.
I have a 513T with proper sights but it has been drilled and tapped for a side mount. Excellent condition if you ignore the D&T.
Honestly I don't think I could get $500 locally because of the holes. Everyone talks high prices but very few pay it.

The prices on these rifles have exploded ever since everyone discovered them. I have collected the Remington 500 series rifles for years paying anywhere from $80 to $160. Those days are gone. Same scenerio happening to early model Sears Roebuck shotguns. Crazy world!

 

513T sold recently here all original for north of $650 LGS

 

Looks good to me Hank. I can't enarge the pics without logging into that forum but it appears to be in nice condition. If so then the price is fair. You'll forget about what you paid shortly after you get the rifle in hand

 

Thank you for the comments, folks. I'm going to contact the seller and see if he has any wiggle room on the price.

Good Luck on Your possible purchase. I would like to get a 513T some Day. I have a 1945 vintage 512 Sport master that is extremely accurate for a tube fed hunting - plinking rifle. One Day
My best Friend and I were at a Bar-B-Q in the country when We noticed zillions of yellow grasshoppers everywhere. I broke out the old Remington and a brick of ammo and began to pick off those hopper bugs. We handed the Rifle back and forth until we couldn't see any more. Didn't matter how far,if We could see em, they were toast. That speaks volumes about an iron sighted Rifle and accuracy. Fun as all get out! Not bad for a$35.00 Rifle.

 

Buy the gun, you won’t regret it. The old Remington rifles are crazy accurate for what they are. I have a Winchester 61 made in 1953 that’s about a 90% gun with excellent rifling, and it’s a good shooter, but it can’t touch the accuracy of my 511-P or 121 Fieldmaster. You will have a lot of fun with that one!

 

Gun is very fairly priced as is I'd pay that

 

Don't know why some get upset about D&T rifles. All rifles now are set up for scope. Not our fault that they started late.

 

I D&T'd mine but it was well-used and it showed it. I also refinished the wood an metal. It was a bargain for what I paid for it and a fun project I did with my brother the gunsmith. He did the bluing and trigger. I did everything else

 

My 513T has Olympic sights and a grooved receiver although I don’t know if the grooving is original. Unfortunately The stock was broken at one time but repaired very nicely and professionally.

 

If Redfield, that is a fairly rare/hard to come by rear sight base. I put Olympics on my 513T but I had to use the Steve Earle base to do it.

 

Hank,

Did you buy it? I have a military issue that someone worked on the trigger and got it down to 14 ounces. I shot it on the old 50 yard Iron Sight Matches here and was able to get 200-17X out of it. Shoot me a PM when you get a chance.

I have a commercial 513T from 1967 so it is grooved. I bought it new old stock sometime in the '80s but don't recall exactly when. It was a package deal, 2-513Ts and a 521T. I still have the one, my son in law the other 513 and a friend the 521T which he turned around and sold shortly after.... wish I had known.
It's still a good 98% condition, trigger had been tuned and shoots excellent. I don't think $1K would touch it. Odd thing is it has an equivalent Lyman rear sight which is strange being unfired NOS.

 

Just picked up the rifle a little while ago and getting ready to start learning about it.

Hank

 

If you have any questions, please ask. May have the answers here in my reference books. Have several that deal with the 513T's that were military.

Thanks for the offer AJ. I'm sure something will come up. It does appear that the rifle is original. No refinish of the stock or barrel. The owner said he had it for a long, long time. The trigger is just under 2 1/2 lbs. I think that will be fine given the weight of the rifle.

Not a bad price. Danny

 

Mine is D&Td if and when I sell it will be top dollar,or I won’t sell .its a shooter,it has a Redfield 75, a Redfield globe and a Super Targetspot 20x ,a great trigger that is safe also,it’s not shiny wood or metal…and more people want them all the time and there’s only so many around.I probably won’t sell til I’m on Gerber s again.

 

Playing around today with CCI CBshorts I was shooting Gypsy moths at 15-20 yards with my 513t and the aperture sights( sitting ones not flying)I usually use my B-3 for this but wanted to play with the.22 for fun.as they were landing on my backstop stump.
