Scroll down this forum to the thread I posted titled 760 deluxe. The stocks are almost identical, Shape, quality of wood , Checkering pattern, ect. I have had several knowledgeable opinions as to the origin of this wood upgrade and they are split as to factory upgrade or independent craftsman ...

More Pics, From the responses I guess the standard rifle was returned to the factory for a wood upgrade. This seems like the most likely scenario. Thanks for the help. Hank

the metal is strictly standard, no embellishment at all. The wood in the stock and forend are finely figured, finished and matched. The checkering pattern matches a friends premier grade rifle from the 50's except mine has better wood figure. Would they have put premier grade wood on a standard ...

The attached pictures show a model 760 with what looks like factory wood as found on the high grade engraved rifles. it has barrel codes that indicate a 53 build date and a later return to the factory. Its a 270. I see where a deluxe version was listed in the 53 ...

I have a Model 58 Skeet BBL but no gun. Will this BBL work on an 870 or will the gas ports cause problems, Thanks

I broke the stock on my 760 ADL (horse rolled on it while in a scabbard, but that is a different story). Does any one know of a source for 5 diamond wood for these old rifles or anyone have a set they want to sell? Its a 1958 300 savage.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the help. I will try to post some pictures. I guess there is no way to document factory work from old records like at S&W. HB

The gun does not have standard production wood! It is very highly figured. the grade would be exhibition or close. It is hand checkered, as evidenced by a single tiny runover, and is in the remington factory configuration, IE. no monte carlo or cheekpiece. It has a remington factory metal butt plate ...

Wow, This place is dead. Where can you find information on Remington guns. I have Myzokoski's(sp) book, are there any others that are worth having?

I have a 760 in 270 caliber with a date code on the bbl of ZZ which is 1953. It also has a code on the left side of the bbl under the date code that is cv3 which I understand means that it was returned to the factory for repair or alteration. This rifle has very fancy hand checkered wood with a ...

It is hard to unlock when anything is in the chamber, once it unlocks it operates normally. I dont use reloads in this rifle.

I have a 300 savage 760, 1st year production. It is smooth as butter as long as it is empty but is hard to open when a cartridge is chambered. Factory loads only from rem,fed, and win. The chamber has been checked and it is clear and clean and smooth. I read somewhere that this was a problem with ...

I have a model 760 carbine in 280 rem. It is marked Carbine on the bbl. I have never seen another. Does anyone have an Idea how many were made?
