24C series R

[santacruzpaul]

morning guys,
Have allways wanted a camper and finally got one in almost new condition. any idea when it was manufactured? and what is the series R all about. ser # C858160
Also, have been searching about the 24's and williams reciever sights seem the way to go, one problem, the bottom barrel shoots slugs about a 10 inches lower than the 22lr barrel.
thanks, Paul
ps, tried to add picture but page won't let me insert image.

thanks axtell3,
i saw that page, but i still don't get it, was it made in 1951 or 1964, the gun looks allot newer than both dates.

I would assume 64.
It wasn't that long ago...
I had a 22-410 of that vintage, sold it like a bonehead.
