To determine a DOM, Remington's have a letter-type date code, stamped into the barrel - as explained in the "Remington" Section sticky, of this forum: http://www.gboreloaded.com/forums/index.php/topic,63949.0.html


The Remmy 511 was a nice, lightweight sporter, and IMHO it's handling/esthetics would be handicapped by a scope.
The Williams 5D-510 peep sight should fit the 511, as the Model 510 was the model the 511 was based upon.

If a letter Date Code still canot be found after another/closer look (with a glass) at every surface of the bbl and action, I would give Remington's Customer Service Dept a call, if I just HAD to know - just be prepared that they might not have a further answer, either.

BTW - FWIW, I remove the buttplate and usually the stocks of every used gun I buy, for examination.   I have found many an old hunting license or bill-of-sale for the gun thus hidden as an "ID".
