Default RE: Rem. 7600 pump action

My 760 and my Dad's 7600 worked just great. I gave mine up as it weren't the greatest action for a handloader lookin' to squeeze the ultimate out of a cartidge's performance. Dad liked what he got with minimum loads so kept his.
There is a thing about the construction that sometimes causes trouble. The bolt locks up in a barrel extention. instead of the receiver. Once in a while an extention comes loose, and doesn't hold the barrel at the same angle viz a viz the receiver, then the rifle throws shotgun size patterns. Short of a rebuild there ain't much that can be done to correct it. It seems to occur more with the 740/7400 self loaders, as you can't treat them gently between rounds.
