Twins !!!!
Not identical twins, but twins as per the "760 Carbine" designation.

I am mainly a bolt action guy. But have had a few pump Remingtons. I have never seen a 760 with a slide like this one I recently purchased (not the one for sale in the classifieds.
When did Remington change from this type of slide???

1961 on carbines and 1962 on rifles

The Savage 170 isn't a particularly strong action, so I'd use caution before trying to making into something that it wasn't designed to be. Savage made them just srong enough to operate at 30-30 and 35 REM pressure levels, so stressing it might lead to problems.

They work pretty well within the parameters of their design, as good woods range medium game hunting rifles.

That's an earlier model 760 before they changed the design of the pump tube assembly. Not exactly sure when they changed it, but the 760 on the far right is a first year production 1952 and the gun next to it is 1965 production.

Those were early models. I’m no expert on the dates though.

The one I had shown is a 1955 model

Have you noticed any difference in accuracy with the old style slide vs the newer one? I just read MD's article on pump rifles. I like his idea on using a 35 Whelen pump in the thick stuff.

I think it boils down to the individual rifle. Both the old and new models have free floating barrels, the older model just looks like the barrel is connected to the end of the pump tube but it's simply a plastic spacer.

Agreed, speaking of old 760's, I cant make heads nor tails out of Remingtons serial number codes, does anyone know what year 314xxx may be for a 760?

I don't know of any charts that can help date a Remington by serial number. You used to be able to call them or go on their website and tell them your gun model and serial number, but there is no website now.

There is a chart for the date codes that are stamped on the barrel. On the left side of the barrel, near the receiver will be 2 or 3 letters stamped into the metal, old eyes like mine need a magnifying glass to see them.

Here is the date code chart:
Remington dates of Manufacture

Barrel code for DOM.
Not serial number.

Mines an ADL from '63

Like to find newer 7607600 style in 308 carbine.
One of my lookfors when hitting the surrounding shops

Ive had a 760 in 270 since 1982,lol bought it the year i graduated from HS,, killed many many deer with it,, also have a model 76 in 270, oil stain kicks like mule,,

After 98 pages.. I'm sure it has been said before. The Amish machine gun. Yes they will work.

I’m not sure why the .308 is so hot right now in the 760/7600 but holy hell is it ever! I’ve had a few. And for some reason they seem to smack me in an uncomfortable way. The .308 recoil in those slide actions bugs me. I can rip 60 rounds off out of an 06 without issue.

Thanks WinkMan and Hook, numbers I get are, 5 X D 33.

The 5 and 33 are hard to read, don't appear to be stamped square.

LOL, good to hear T, I haven't touched this little '06 off yet.

You're welcome. The "XD" would make the manufacture date December 1957 according to the date code chart.

NICE! hell of a deal WinkMan, Thank You, thought I remembered the old Gent that sold me the rifle say it was a 1957 year model, he bought it after coming home from Korea, I'm proud to be it's second owner.
