Thread: Remington 600 Restoration - Who else has one?

Thats a lovely looking rifle C.T

They really did have a habit of bowing the nylon floorplate/trigger guard out, and If the rifle was assembled without the most careful of consideration the mag box would catch in the bottom of the receiver recess and put pressure on it.
There was a guy in the states making alloy floorplates/trigger guards for them but I have never seen one.
Remington also put out a recall on the triggers for a few years and most were fixed in that time.

I don't remember a short barrelled 788 but the Mohawk was and is a neat machine, I put a stainless barrel on my 308 and painted it black.
I also added a HS Precision stock which added weight from memory and deleted the nylon bits.









They were the precursor to the model 7 which was always the next choice once a little coin was saved

Model 7 in 7mmsaum in the Kawekas (2002)


Then Remington moved on with the short action Titaniums


So it just goes to show the compact/light/pointy rifle is a sought after combo and fortunately there are still a few around

I know where there are two 308 and a 222 and I'm not sure they would ever come up for sale

Well done on the build C.T
