OT; Sort of...not a lever gun......
I have a couple of questions about a pump action rifle. I remember reading about a .223 cal pump rifle that Remington was making...it is not their model 760 or any of the earlier ones. It came out in the last 5-10 yrs....I think possibly for police/military use, and I think it used AR15/M16 mags....anybody remember these? What was it called? Were these strictly for police/military or were they also available to the public? I have a friend who has a Rem 760 .223 (Remington only made these for 4 yrs), but the mags are wearing out and becoming unreliable, and replacement mags seem to be extremely rare, as I have been unable so far to locate even one, thought maybe this Remington pump would be a good replacement for him (he doesn't care for Mini-14 or Ar-15), he is an avid coyote hunter. Anybody have any info to share? Thanks.

My boss bought one. He is a long time 870 fan and really likes it (same controls). The sheriff's office in a neighboring parish here bought a bunch of them for patrol rifles also. Overall everybody seems to like them.

Is that an M16 type magazine hanging out the bottom?
If so that rifle with a 30 rounder would be one heck of a house gun. You'd never hear anything again but what the heck.

They do use AR mags. Nice rifles. Almost bought one last summer.

It's not LE only, it's been a while but Dakota Mart in Pierre, SD had about a half dozen on the rack. I don't know how well they sold as they had them in their rack out from behind the counter and they usually only do that with close-out stuff. I looked one over but wasn't particularly interested in it.

I contacted Remington a while back about the 7615 and asked why they couldn't do their .308 7600 using a FN/FAL or M14 magazine...
THAT would be a heckofa "homeland defense rifle"... especially if you had a spare barrel in .358 Win...

If only they'd make it in .357 Max!
Looks like a seriously fun rifle.

Pump action rifles get little love for some reason.

I honestly can't fathom why. Imagine the gun below with a pistol grip &/or collapsable/folding stock & a 30 rd mag...Jason_W wrote:Pump action rifles get little love for some reason.

No problems feeding a pump ammo that would choke a gas gun...

Hi All,
Doesn't the 458 SOCOM use an m-16 magazine?

Imagine this in a .30-06 with an 8rd mag.

May your rifle always shoot straight, your mag never run dry, you always have one more round than you have adversaries, and your good mate always be there to watch your back.
Because I can!

Re: OT; Sort of...not a lever gun......
I have one of these, and it is a good shooting rifle. Your arms get a little tired when you use a 30 round magazine and try to empty it from a standing position, but it is handy rifle. I don't know if you can still find them, but I have a ten round magazine for the 760 in 30-06. This gives one more firepower for the pump guns.
