1964 was also the first year of the Carbine I beleive !

I'll buy that , metalurgy !

So what are the differences between a L/H trigger group and a R/H trigger group ? Other than the safety button and the gun having L/H eject . I know those are the only differences in the 870s , and I've converted many 760s to L/H by changing the safety button . Just turning the safety button around ...

You should be able to just swap the buttons . I've never seen or heard of a L/H trigger group . The only difference is the button itself !

Why would high velocity ammo be bad for a pump ? Now old semi autos would be another story .

Looks like someone put goldleaf to the factory engraving ( stamped) , and put on a custom buttstock . I like the wood , you can keep the rest of it ! I don't recall seeing a Carbine with the engraving though .

Thank you sir , that's good to know !

Late model wood isn't going to fit a 760 that was manufactured in 1953 . I sure would like to see a picture of it . Is the metal embellished at all ? Sounds like custom wood to me , with the forend extending past the action tube .

That's what I'd try first ! Before drilling and retapping to a larger size .

I need a forend for an early 7400 , if you have one , I have a good home for it !

If you go to StevesPages.com , you will find the manual that you need . Disassembly of the 760 isn't rocket surgery by any means ! They have to be disassembled to do a thorough cleaning . There are places that rust gets into because they aren't accessable to regular cleaning . I specialize in these ...

Bingo wulfman , it don't get alot simpiler does it ?

12Ga. 870 stocks don't fit the 760/7600 rifles as the 12Ga. receiver is bigger than the rifles . 20 Ga. 870 stocks will fit , in fact the special field straight grip looks pretty slick on them !

Let's not forget the old Weaver pivot mounts for the 760 . I have a few of those too .

I have a 7600 buttstock from a 1989 7600 ( that's the straight comb with out whiteline spacers ) . It neeeds a 1" pad as it's been cut for one ! PM if interested .
