I won't say it doesn't happen but I've never experienced the rattle myself. I remember reading about someone asking Larry Benoit, the legendary deer tracker, about hunting with a gun that rattles (referring to his Rem 760). His response was essentially "Do you think I would hunt with a gun that rattles?" The point being if there is a rattle, likely something is amiss.

However, I still call it my "clunky" rem 760...

I've hunted with many Remington pumps all my life. Only had one that developed a rattle and it just needed to have the forearm screw tightened.
I've heard about pumps rattling much more than I've heard pumps rattle. I've been trying to remember how many I've been around and I can't be accurate, quite a few. From personal experience I knew a guy in La. that had 1 that rattled. That's the only 1 I've been around that did. None of mine do and never had 1 that rattled. I would not hunt with any rifle that rattled either. I'd either fix it or move it on. Jerry

Unfortunately mine does rattle. I don't hear it while I hunt, likely due to how I carry the gun.

You wanna talk rattling, I shot a deer last year with a Savage 170 .30-30 with an old Bausch & Lomb scope in the adjustable mounts. The sucker rattles

Just something that I have done or invented, the o-ring mod you need a lathe. Second one you need a lathe and mill. The second one make it smooth
