I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally

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??? .

I picked this .30-30 carbine off Cabelas sale rack last year for cheap. Sweet little gun. I've been contemplating sending it to JES to punch it out to .375. When I called and inquired whether it was feasible, he said he's done several and they work great. Might have to get off my a$$ and send it in. TMitch, I'm no 760? [old pump gun] aficionado by any stretch, and your rifle of course, but I wouldn't drill that 30-30 Sir, that's got to be a rare bird, running 170gr Partitions at 2400 fps with RL-15 aint going to run from much, plus, you could send 150gr Partitions outta that little mag fed? banger, nice rifle, Congrats on the purchase. 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.

When did Remington change from this type of slide??? . 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.

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.

Have you noticed any difference in accuracy with the old style slide vs the newer one? 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

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.

The 5 and 33 are hard to read, don't appear to be stamped square. You're welcome. The "XD" would make the manufacture date December 1957 according to the date code chart.
