Ok, question for you pump guys. I have a nice 141 in .30 Rem. It looks just like the pics some of you are posting as 14's. I before thought that the 14's were chambered in revolver rounds like .38/40 and .44/40. So if the 14's were chambered in rifle rounds like .30 and .35 Rem. Why a different model #?

Remington 14 and 14 1/2

Remington 14 & 14.5

Thank You tomk. That explains things nicely! I'll have to dig my 141 out from the back of my safe and see when she was born. I see enough to know its older than I realized.

Evening Mr. Dave:

I don't doubt you at all. It simply shows us there are no hard and fast rules.

Maybe there's a diff in the dies ?

Maybe there's a diff in the chambers ?

I had a Savage 99 in 243 and no matter how I adjusted the dies, the 'bolt' was very difficult to completely close.
Surely IMO, that particular rifle was an exception.

Jerry, IIRC two different FL dies have been used over the years with the same problem. I've adjusted the sizing die to just touching the shell holder, a little cam over with the ram full stroke, and partial FL resizing. All three ways had the same results. I always figured the rifle has a snug chamber. It happens.

all mine are very accurate. i have a factory whelen carbine 7600 that i had a match trigger job done and it is a true one holer.

Anybody tried the Timney 870 trigger kit in there 760/7600? Worth the $?

I have a remington 7600 270 pump that I had problems with last season as it wouldn't pump. From replies I found
on this site and others I was able to disassemble the gun and found it was the o-ring. I went to Ace hardware and
picked up a 3/4 x 5/8 x 3/64 o-ring that fit the barrel but I had a hard time getting the gun back together again.
Finally nudged it back together and it pumped ok but a little stubborn. Just wondering if anyone has ever discovered
the true size for this part. I have seen these mentioned 5/8 x 1/2 x 1/16 and 11/16 x 9/16 x 1/16 along with the one
I used. It would seem that 3/64 being smaller than 1/16 would be better but it looks like people have used 1/16.
I haven't yet brought the 270 out to site it in and test the pumping action but thought I would ask and maybe
buy the others in case. The cheap price at ace or homedepot vs the ones on ebay or midway makes it a no brainer
but would like to know the true size in case it happens again.
Thanks

Took my sons 760 Remington pump out about 3 weeks ago. It,s a 257 Roberts. Chronographed loads with it and a Model 70 Winchester in 257 Roberts.
The 22" barrel gave about 75 fps less than the 24" model 70 barrel. The 760 Remington liked the RL26 loads with 115gr Noslers best.

These are the ones I've used w/o issues.

The main thing with pumps and semi-autos is to clean the chambers with a good chamber brush and solvent. Makes a big difference!

Anybody seen a 2017 carbine model anywhere yet...with the low comb stock? Can't find one.

I was at Cabela's in Delaware yesterday, picking up a pair of rifles. I noticed on the used gun rack a pretty nice Remington 760, about late 60's, early 70's vintage. Not totally pristine, but pretty nice, didn't look used much, a little bubbling of the finish on the plastic end piece of the pistol grip. Not scratched up at all, just a little handling usage it appeared. 22 inch barrel, in .243 Winchester, they were asking $599.

I'm not affiliated in any way, just thought I would post it in case anyone was interested.

Not in my opinion. There is a gunsmith in PA named Chad Killensmith that specializes in Remington pump and semi auto rifle & shotgun triggers. He does a fantastic trigger job and has less than a 2 week turnaround. He polishes all surfaces, sets a 760/7600 trigger down to 2.5 lbs, and installs an over travel screw in the trigger guard for $50 + $8 shipping.

He's done 2 of my 7600's & 1 760.

Thanks for the info, can you send him just the trigger unit?

Those with a 35 Whelen having any accuracy issues? Also, any suggestions for a barrel mounted sling attachment? The Uncle Mikes are too small to grip properly and simply slide up the barrel. Finally, can you refer to a top notch guy smith who specializes in pumps?

I'm surprised at this, yet glad to hear it before I order. I've had the Uncle Mikes barrel band on my 760 Carbine in 30-06 and it's never moved, but I purchased it around 1980.

I was about to order one for my new to me 760 pump in .35 Remington, sounds like I have to rethink it. Thanks for the heads up.

Garry

Yes you can

wink man, I have the Uncle Mike's bbl band on my 35R Carbine, no issues.

I have multiple Rem pump rifles and I have used U M's barrel band on all of them
w/o issue. Obviously there can be 'something' out of the norm but I wouldn't hesitate
to get another.
