Friends, If you're loaded up in the deer woods with your 7600, and a buck comes that you've decided to shoot,
when you shoulder the 7600, can you "PULL" it into your shoulder with the hand that works the pump? Or, does
that "PULLING" cause your action to open? (as if you're trying to reload for a follow-up shot) My buddy said his
pump shotgun has a feature that locks the sliding mechanism when in the shooting mode. The mechanism has a
release that you must activate to work the slide in such a shooting situation, UNLESS you've fired a round. When
you've fired, the release is activated instantly, and you can work the slide immediately after firing.
Thanks for your help with this!

The slide should not move until after the round is fired, one it is fired a very slight forward is required to enable the slide to move to the rear. you will never notice the move forward.

My Model 12 Win has the same feature your buddy's has. Haven't shot it in a year of Sundays, but my recollection is that the recoil of the gun (backwards) operates against the "push" your stationary hand exerts on the slide, and that, in effect, pushes the slide forward to unlock it.

My Model 12 has an inconspicuous button-like device behind the trigger guard (left side) that you use to unlock the slide to eject an unfired shell.

These features - or other such mechanisms - have been around for a long time.

Great Responses Guys!
Very clear and helpful.

I've owned a couple 7600's. Once you get used to a 7600 you'll love it. Loading the 2nd round will just be instinct.

and the trigger has a release to lower the same lock when the hammer is released.
my win. 12&1300's will eject the empty if I'm not holding the fore stock.

There are two ways to release the action lock.

One press the action lock button or pull the trigger and that releases the action lock.

So yes you can mount the Remington pump with the off hand with out releasing the action lock.

But why would one do so unless your unable to use both arms and hands.

The Remington pumps, 870, 760 or 7600 are all the same. They stay locked until the trigger is pulled, hammer falls and a "slight" forward motion on the forearm is made. As noted before, you won't notice the forward motion but if you want to test that with an uploaded rifle, you can certainly tell it is there.
The Winchester 1200 and 1300 are very different in that they unlock upon the completion of the firing cycle. Hold one straight up in one hand and pull the trigger on an unloaded shotgun and the forearm will clearly release. Very fast and smooth pump action. I shot one for a season in International skeet in College, never lost a bird due to speed problems.

I had a 760 for awhile, liked the gun but it rattled like bbs in shoe box in case no one noticed..What has always amazed me was how accurate out of the box that pump is..Its not a very good saddle gun, it just doesn't pump function going in and coming out of a saddle scabbard unless loaded in the chamber with safety on, thats not good at all...

There's an O ring on the action tube to stop it from rattling. Costs about a dime.

Now you tell me!! can you give me the details of that O ring like size etc. Id like to buy a half dozen of them..Id like a 760 Rem in a 9.3x62

We've got a 7600 in 35 Whelen, a good sambar rifle though the rifling twist is a bit slow for Keith-respected bullets. I find it hard to release the safety quietly in a hurry, however.

I found that if one has to release it in a hurry it is normally. Shooting at a running animal.

The noise does not matter.

I recall one "can hold the trigger back"and pump the gun in that manor, and it fired. It worked on flushing bobs and dove over water. ????

That is an asset in wild bunch action shooting where you generally have 6 knckdowns and you can load the magazine fully.
