Hal Blood's Remington Pump Gun Collection | Big Woods Bucks

everyone has their queen for sure, but this is mine, it's a first year 7600 carbine after they upgraded from the 760 and it still had the flat to attract the ladies back then and the first year it had the white line spacers, It was 87 or 88 after that, the white one. The line spacers are gone, and the white line is on the latest version 760. I bought this gun. I think it was in 1988 and it's the only one I've loved since then. I show a lot of money with it. I changed the skinner. Peep, I had the Williams Skinner, I never made one until recently so I switched to the regular Skinner Pete Lot and a lot of people still use it.

I put an optic fiber. I still have the original account that came with them. I paint it. I paint. with fluorescent orange I used to use model paint, now you can get nail polish, so I just put it on there and if it falls off a tree or something, I just put another coat on it every year, touch it up, right? A nice round bead that I used to shoot without an aperture and then Andy Lassen from Skinner has made these great woodland tracker models that have no aperture, it's like a ghost ring, that's what you're using now, you can see it right on the It's a Woods Skinner Peep model large, so you can see my fingerprints on this one anyway.

An advert. I'm left-handed, so that's because I carried it. The blue is used quite a bit on this thing. He had a girl. This was the biggest investment. track that I've ever seen was eight inches from the dewclaws to the tips, so I put it there and this scene here comes from a book that I read that my grandfather gave me, I was about 10 years old and it was called How to Hunt Deer and I always liked it. loved that picture of that deer bounding through the

woods

on a downed log or something, so that's the story of that stuff and it's a well-oiled machine, there's no skid resistance on it. so it's just fast light and that's what I like.

This here I found is a 760 from the first year in 300 wild. I bought this for my friend Joe Denito and I bought this for my grandson. It is his first

pump

gun. It is big enough to carry. one now and they didn't make carbines in the 300 savage so I cut it down to 18 and a half so he could put the skinner on it and uh it's a beautiful gun it's still like new and I hope so anyway. It will last you a lifetime. This is an old original 760 well

pump

. This is also the first year, but this is a 30 six.

What's unusual about this one, the serial number on this one is 2404 and I looked it up. a little bit and it's the first year, it's really like the thousand and fourth that comes off the production line and the only thing it has is that it has a safety pin and what they did was lock the cross bolt. They just left it, sealed it, set it on fire and put a tang lock on it and it looks like it was factory made. I took it apart, picked it up, removed the material and all the pieces look handmade, as I think.

Probably a prototype gun that gun makers used to do that in the first year they would take some and try to make some changes with it and this one is also in mint condition so if anyone has any thoughts on you know if I've seen another one, I know what they made, I don't know if they were marbles or one of the companies made an aftermarket one, but this one isn't because it had a larger piece of metal that you could make yourself with a kit. This isn't that one, this is something different, so anyway, another good weapon.

I had to search the archives again. Here we are now going back to the older pumps. This is a model 14 that Remington 14 made, they started making them and 1912. And uh, this was their first pump gun, it didn't have a clip magazine, it has a tube magazine and that's why this tube has a design in spiral, so when you push the projectiles into the magazine. the tube they twisted so that the tip of the bullet wasn't in the primer or the one behind it had a unique design and this one is particularly rare, carbines were rare anyway, but this one here has a call to the miniature safety, they tried something else, it was another experimental thing I guess, so the miniature safety never caught on, I think they just did it, that one year puts the value of the gun at double, it's a one hundred percent added value with that and Again they locked the cross bolt, they put this miniature in and it was operated with a bolt release button that is right on the face of the bolt, there is a button there and you just press the button and that releases it .

They are very smooth, a very nice gun. On Remington 35 back then, when they came out with these, they didn't even have the model number. They had a 22 that was a model 12 in the same way, but they had a box head on the receiver of these 14s and also. the 141 and that told you the cartridge you know the caliber so this is the next one this is the 141 and this is also a carbine and 35 Remington so they started making these 140s they discontinued the 14 in 1939 and then one or two years later, they came out with a 141, it was kind of an improved version, kind of basically, the stock was different, the 14 had a straight grip stock, they went to a curve and went from the original, it was round. and they call it corn on the cob, this is basically the same thing, it just has a groove, it's a little different and then they continued this in the 760s, it had a different shape and they always call it, in the 760s they called it tootsie roll, it They call these corncobs, uh, four-ended and then they went, they started calling them tootsie roll four-ended, but the gun is basically the same, the action is the same tube magazine, everything is the same.

This one here has a factory look, which is cool, they were all built, they were all drilled and tapped for this and they put those factory parts on some of them. Others did not. There's some nice wood on that one too. One looks like a tiger maple, but it's made of walnut.
