I'm new to this site and I'm trying to help a friend that doesn't have regular access to the internet.
He recently purchased a Springfield Savage Model 511 12 gage sid by side shotgun.
He is wanting to know approximate date of manufacture (sorry he didn't give me a S/N when we spoke, but I can probably get that) and if the front bead sight is threaded or soldered on the bbl.
Thanks to all & I hope this is the right forum to get a couple of answers
