Here’s the real question...
760 or 7600?
I have no preference between the 2nd generation 760s and the 7600s.
I prefer those over the 1st generation 760s that do not have a free float bbl.
My first year production (IIRC 1952) M760 did not did not come with a free floating barrel. Looking through early 1950s gun magazines, the M760 was advertised as free floating. Turns out, the part making contact with the barrel at the end of the pump handle tube is a brush guard and it was too tall. Pretty simple to remove the brush guard from the rifle and filing it down so that it makes no contact with the barrel is one fix. Leaving the brush guard off the rifle is another.
