Howdy,
Picked up a 7600 with the 22" barrel via GB with the plan to have it cut down to carbine length...after finally realizing that until/if the new Remington ever gets the 7600 line running again, the used factory carbines are just too rich for my blood.
However, now that I have it, realizing that it's a first year of production, white line spacer, straight comb (non Monte Carlo) stock and in just great shape, which up here in Northern New England/ADKs one of this vintage would likely be a beat to death brush gun (which is what I was planning to do with it). It just seems to be in too nice of shape to butcher.
Have seen a few carbine barrels for sale on ebay, etc, and was wondering if the barrel swap procedure is similar to that of an 870?
