I paid $125 for my grooved receiver 511 a few years back to replace the one confiscated by the overzealous PD 10 years ago. It has a 4x Weaver on it. My latest acquisition, a 50s vintage 512 is not grooved but is drilled and tapped for the Mossberg 22 mount. If you have the drilled and tapped large holes that are 1 5/8" apart, you need the Mossy mount. It can be obtained from Havlin Sales in Missouri. I haven't been able to figure out why the 513s are so pricey. Nostalgia maybe? I'd rather have a newer 581 myself.
