760

The Remington Model 760 GameMaster is a pump action centerfire rifle that is fed by a four round box magazine. The gun was designed by L. R. Crittendon and William Gail Jr. and was introduced in 1952.1

gunsmithing note(s):

      • The original Remington Model 760 magazines were made of a single deep-drawn sheet of steel. This made the box and the floor plate all out of the same piece of metal.2
      • Later versions of the Remington Model 760 magazines were made by a different company and they had a metal box but a plastic floorplate. These are known as new style magazines. In older guns, these magazines can need to be fit for smooth movement in and out as well as locking.3
      • The Remington Model 740 series magazines and the Remington Model 760 series magazines were all made on the same tooling so they should interchange.4
