I observed one in an old levergun that was 7 holes drilled in the stock. The cover was a piece of leather screwed down at one end, and a snap at the other end. Half of the snap was screwed to the...
Get an egg fishing weight and use that to slug the bore. I start it into the bore from the chamber(oil the bore,it helps)and once it starts you most times can push it by hand(except if you run into...

My model 6 has 3 lugs on the bolt, do the older 760's have the multiple lugs?

Yes it has a 308 case head in the receiver. Last model of the pump rifle, I think it was discontinued in the mid 1980's. I will be happy with less 2 inches at 100 yards with hunting loads. Also want...

Have a TC 45 cal. maxi ball mould, cast of stick on ww, seated flush, 5gr bullseye in a 18 inch 45/70 is pretty effective out to 50yds on 120ish pound deer and hogs. And its pretty quiet.
