To All, As I now have a lady forever, who is <90# & 60" tall, she took one look at the 7615 & announced, "This is just MY size. Honey, you have all those other pumps, like a dozen or so, so you won't even miss this one." - KNOWING that tone of voice, I said, "OK." (T...

Dixiejack, You're 100% CORRECT = The 7615 Police, in all of the variations, are/were few & far between. - I'm told that they were "the biggest flop" that Remington has made in a long time as: 1. The carbines were too expensive for what they were (The 7615 cost about 100.oo MORE than an...

Friends, After much looking for over 2 years, I finally found a 7615 Police Carbine in good shape & that a price that I could afford. (Temple (TX) PD had four of the carbines, which lasted all of 15 minutes when they were traded in on SMG & "put out for sale" at an Austin Police Su...

admin, I guess that I wasn't clear. = I actually bought the little carbine & CANNOT read the barrel code, even under a strong light. - I'm going to try to find a good magnifying glass. (It's not well-stamped.) Finally called the factory to see if they happened to still have an original magazine ...

friends, I've looked & looked for a Model 7615 Police carbine for well over 2 years now & found 2 kinds for sale: 1. OVER-PRICED in the 700.oo to over 800.oo category AND/OR 2. Beat to pieces. (SOME of the "beat-up" carbines were also OVER-priced. - One 7615 from a left coast PD wa...

admin; All, BE OF GOOD CHEER. = Relief is coming & starting in just 17 more days. (My "sister of the heart" is very likely to be "a very senior policy-maker" at BATFE within a few weeks & Sarah says that the Trump team is DEAD SERIOUS about "draining the swamp",...

To admin; All, Actually, inasmuch as the receiver of my rebored/rechambered Model 760 was NOT made 50 or more years ago (The receiver was made in 1968 or 1969.), it isn't C&R, so I bought it through a local FFL dealer. (Also, inasmuch as 9.3x62mm Mauser is NOT the original caliber, I'm not sure ...

Swamprat,

THANKS. - That's what I was told by a BATFE agent at the "BIG" 2015 San Antonio Gun-show.

ImVho, we of this forum are BLESSED to have so many HELPFUL members.

600RemGuy,

Dated: FEB 1968.

yours, satx

600RemGuy, WOW. THANKS. The rifle isn't as old as I thought. = I was a senior in college in 68-69. My other 760 rifles/carbines are dated from 1954 to 1962, so this one is "new to me" in more than one way. (My "treasure" is a "really plain Jane" 760 made 04/54 in .300 S...

REM600,

The serial number is: 69264xx.

SORRY, when I edited the 1st post to this thread, I thoughtlessly removed the SN.

Friends, I found another Model 760 rifle this PM at an out-of-state store & am wondering if someone has a "date of manufacture list" by serial number. (The barrel was, I believe, changed out when it was rebored/rechambered by JES to 9.3x62mm & thus the "barrel code" is us...

600RemGuy,

YEP. That's the one. = Too many $$$$$$$ though, imo.

THANKS, satx

jbw, It's now 01JUL2016 & I think that I should apologize for "upsetting" you by saying that nothing but an unmodified RIMFIRE M1867 was a "collector's item". While ANY firearm MAY be "historically significant", (at least in the USA) "modified" or "sp...
