I found a 513T in a pawnshop years ago. What caught my eye was the fantastic custom stock. I bought it for $100, cleaned it up, scoped it, and used it. It was extremely accurate with garden variety 22 ammo. The bad news, for me, was that the 26” bull barrel made it a very heavy rifle. It wasn’t ever going to be the rifle a Win 52 is, I suppose, but it was a fantastic shooter. Probably the perfect 10 pound squirrel rifle, but I didn’t need a 10 pound squirrel rifle.
Most likely, the rifle had been set up by a serious competitive shooter. Maybe he got too old or died. I’ve often wondered who that guy was.
