Lots of 760's have been cut down and had recoil pads installed through the years. I see almost as many like that as I do originals. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I am hoping to find an unmolested one.  There is a big gun show near me this weekend. Maybe something will turn up.

Ok, I used the incorrect terminology. But in my defense, I did read "hanger" in one of the zillion threads I read on this forum before I asked about it. Mega Cupa.

Guy on Ebay was selling SF stocks and I bought 2. They're a simple bolt on for a 7600. The fit is as if were factory! Perfect. I did lop off 2" on the 22" barrels. Balance is amazing, pointability is just like a shotgun. You wouldn't be disappointed. I guess I like them: DMc
I've always been aware that a 20 gauge 870/1100 stock was a bolt on change to a 760/7600/740/7400 rifle but never put together the thought or idea of a straight stock on the rifle till I saw your pic. And I, like you, am liking it. DAMN, I hate when somebody gives me ideas that start me thinking, they always wind up costing me a bundle, LMAO. I have here a super pristine El Paso Weaver V4.5 scope 1.5X4.5 power with a duplex recticle right out of the late 70's, and a brand new obsolete Weaver pivot mount base and ring set for a 760/740/742. I am now envisioning this setup sitting atop of a straight stocked Remington 760 in 35 Remington, MMMM MMMM MMMM.

Go a step further and load some 158-160 grn 357 Hollowpoints at about 2K fps in that 35 Rem. Plink a few rounds and watch what happens.

...PS, now that I think about it, there are 2 screw lenths for an 870 & 760/7600. I can't remember which you'll need, but any gunsmith will have either.
Apology to the OP for stepping on his thread.

No problem here. I am learning stuff. Besides I load 35 rem for my lever gun. Maybe I'll look for 35 rem 760. Nah. Anyway is the fleur-de-lis pattern pressed or cut on a 1972 760?
