24C series R

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.

bump.
sorry to bother you guys again, but have searched everywhere, any idea when the 24 was manufactured,
thanks, Paul

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.
