A good friend has a 7600 he's thinking of parting ways with.

o. Started out as a rifle, cal unknown, most likely 308.
o. Has unmarked 19" barrel except 308 on left side in script no maker/manufacturer.
o. Plastic stock and forearm, small chip out of stock left side at receiver.
o. Barrel and receiver are Cerakoted? Flat finish except for magazine.
o. Will come with base only, barrel has no sights.
o. Trigger feels like it has had work done to it.
o. The gun came to him like it sits.

He is unsure what to ask, I am unsure what to offer as it is no longer as it came from the factory.

Any guesses as to a fair value between friends. I'm looking for a hunting rifle, not a collector and will need to put rings and a scope on it.

Feel free to reply here or th PM me. Thanks Hutch.

Your “started out” causes a lot of questions. Without pics, betweeen friends…..$300

Easy pass

$250.

Saying this started out as a rifle implies it's no longer one?

Hard to tell...how would you feel if said rifle turned out to be one worked over by Nathan Chesney of Hillbilly Rifles. Not saying it is...but would you still say $250 or so?

How's the quality of the work?

If he is a friend, fair would be whatever he paid for it if he doesn't want it.

I would be concerned about the safety of the trigger.

Pretty sure those are the same as an 870 so fixing it would be easy if something is wrong with it.

Does it spit hot brass?

What about split hot brass??

Lol

There is a thread further down about “hot split brass.”

Lord don't get that going again.

I argued with that clown for 3 days.

He is still jacking with an ammo checker measuring headspace.

Without seeing it in person, its really hard to say...but I agree around $250-300 would be a good start.

Probably means as opposed to a carbine?
