I have been operating off the impression that the receiver has "several other holes" rather then just a couple extra. Hence my recommendation to consider having them welded. To me a bunch of screws in a small area is going to look messy but I guess this is up to ones own personal taste.
Whatever enjoy this rifle for what it is. A great 22 from times past that will probably never be duplicated again.
Just to add a little extra info here; I have a Remington Fieldmaster Model 121 from the same era and this is another excellent quality 22 pump.

Thanks all for your opinions! It is much appreciated!
I will leave the holes as they are now.----covered by the scope mount that is on it currently!
The two holes on the side of the reciever that have been plugged with aluminium,, I will try and hide with some aluminium black.
You guys are right,, these are really nice well made guns,, and alot of fun to own!
Thanks again for your time!

Very hard to make a call without having the gun in hand. If the gun was a real cherry but for the holes, I might consider the plugging method with screws. But if the holes are numerous and poorly layed out on a gun in not all that uncommon condition, I'd not hesitate to strip the gun down and weld it up and refinish the gun. The really hard call is when the gun is in pretty good original finish condition and the holes are pretty ugly. IMO, the holes already took the collector value out of the game unless this is a historically significant gun. I'm leaning toward a permanent fix by welding/refinish. I bet Ken Hurst's friend at Classic could do a fine job.
