Did anyone catch that BWB 35 Whelen on GB yesterday? 1 of 100. 2 motivated (and probably blind drunk) bidders.

Stupid money

Good lawd, that’s insane!

I saw that myself. It’s a pile of money for that rifle.

The logo on the receiver makes it more accurate and kill better.

That stock is hideous.

Someone trying to buy skill?

Never used one, eh?

In fact they are simple actions that are quite robust and reliable. I've had many over the years from 223 up to 35Whelens and loaded for them all. They will digest max loads and extract with no problem at all. Also, they are quite easy to disassemble for cleaning including removing the barrel. No special tools required.

Furthermore .... A rifle is not a weapon unless it it used as such.

Has anyone ever heard of a "connecting bar" ever bending or breaking on any Remington pump?

Nope. Am I missing something?

back off , Rambo Morgoman has spoken . he reminds me of the guy that wears all tactical clothes at his Mickey dees job

$5800?



For sellers on GB, it's always best to end an auction after 10pm - the bidding can get downright reckless after a pint or seven.

Nope. Not an 870, 760 or 7600.

If they pay......

Same seller listed a 308 plastic carbine Sunday that’s up over $2K already. Better than a 401k!

WHAT SC said!

I've spent a long lifetime shooting MANY 870's, 7600's and 760's and never had an issue with the connecting bars!

More internet folklore from people that haven't used one before.

I’ve seen broken action bars on 870s but never a 760/7600. The shotgun action bars are smaller and have the angled cutouts to activate the shell latches. The 760/7600 action bars have no such cutouts and are one solid piece that is attached to the bolt carrier and therefore much more rigid.

I will say that while not normally a problem the pumps don’t have the extraction camming power of a bolt rifle. The second buck I ever killed I had to give my 760 a Pogo stick whack on the butt while holding the forend to get it to spit the empty out after the first shot. Likely due to a dirty chamber back before I knew any better.

I've seen a couple rifles (one 760 included) that had a very fine covering of rust in the chamber that would hold spent shells like a vice grip, even with very light loads.

Very fine steel wool on a slotted dowel with lots of light oil chucked in a slow drill fixed them both.

Yep, a lot of them with a lot of people had the habit of getting used hard and not well cared for until all of a sudden there's a problem. Guy dropped one off here because it wouldn't go off. Said the trigger would pull and nothing would happen. Took one look in the chamber and seen the problem. Dirty, rusty. Action would go closed but too tight to go forward enough to completely close where it would lock the action bar, so therefore the trigger wouldn't set.

I cleaned it by hand with a slotted dowel and fine scotch brite soaked in Hoppe's. Shined the bore right up. Worked like a top after that .
