Remington Model 760C Gamemaster Carbine .30-06 Pump Action Rifle, 18.5" Barrel, Polished Blue Finish, Walnut Stock
This factory carbine variant of the Remington Model 760 Gamemaster pairs a compact 18.5" barrel with the strong, shotgun-inspired pump action that helped make the series a favorite among hunters and collectors. Produced in the 1960s, the Model 760C is far less common than the standard rifle length version, and this example adds practical upgrades—scope rail, sling-swivel studs, and a Pachmayr White Line recoil pad—without altering its classic lines.

The 760C carbine was produced in limited numbers—approximately 62,700 versus more than one million full-length rifles—making surviving examples desirable for collectors seeking model variations.
Its pre-GCA-68 serial sequence confirms 1960s manufacture and adds historical appeal, as later rifles carry the two-letter date code format mandated after 1968.
The 18.5" carbon-steel barrel provides faster handling in dense cover, while the polished blue finish on the barrel and receiver maintains the traditional Remington look.
Robust slide/bolt architecture, protected by patent number 2,685,734 roll-marked on the receiver, shares engineering lineage with the Model 870 shotgun, ensuring reliable lockup and smooth cycling.
Factory iron sights feature a serrated ramp with gold-tone bead up front and an elevation-adjustable folding leaf at the rear. A Weaver-style two-piece rail is already installed for easy optic mounting.
