Advantages and disadvantages

Good workmanship, robust and indestructible construction.

• Beautiful, pricedata bed with pillow “Monte Carlo”.
• Very quickly you can reload, at a certain skill even distracted from the line of sight. Rate of fire shotgun is superior to the traditional bortovoy rifle. Well, guess the Americans to equip a foregrip spring that it came back, the Remington 7600 carbine is not inferior to the Browning Maral, and are very close to self-loading semi-automatic.
• A movable fore-end somewhat limits the scope of a shotgun. On the bipod it will not install, and shoot the rest. somewhat problematic. This weapon is for shooting offhand, unexpected encounter with prey literally nose to nose.
• Valve with rotating cylinders, which securely locks the barrel by three lugs.
• Quality chamfer on the muzzle improves the ballistic qualities of the gun, makes combat arms a heap.
• In addition to fuse a security system that allows you to make weapons available for uncontrolled use. For this purpose, the safety button has a groove shaped key.
• It is possible to install any optical sights.

Of course, he also had some design flaws.

• For example, the magazine release is extremely small, and he himself have to pull out of the receiver. In cold or wet weather, this step can be difficult.
• Not much more lever lock forend in the locked position, located on the left side of the receiver above the trigger guard.
• The trigger mechanism is unregulated. It is normal for a semi-automatic weapon when you need a strict balance between all parts of the trigger. For manual recharge like foresight are clearly excessive.
• The slot of the rear sight is narrow, it is completely covered by the projection of the flies, so is difficult to aim. It would be nice, guess the designers to equip these devices are fiber-optic filaments.
• Recharge is accompanied by a rather loud clanging, which is not always appropriate for hunting.

For the arms used on sea and battue hunting, it’s hard. Although this is a consequence of descent from a semi-automatic carbine.

The principle of operation

Before bringing the weapon into the firing position it is necessary to press on a lever located on the left side of the receiver above the trigger guard. It unlocks the forearm, after which it can be pushed back.

The shutter is operated by a longitudinally sliding forend to which it is linked by two metal guides. While driving back, the larva shutter rotates and unlocks the barrel. Next is the engagement of the trigger projection on the stem of the shutter and a platoon of trigger. Returning to the original position, the cylinder bolt picks up from the store cartridge, Doyle it into the chamber and turns around, catching lugs for the breech of the barrel.

The cartridges are stacked in a staggered fashion, the store is inserted on a regular place and latched.

To enable this, put the fuse in the “Stop” position (shift to the left, the red marker is not visible), insert shaped key supplied with the J-shaped groove on the left side of the button guard and turn it so the risk has coincided with a white dot. In this position not only blocks the sear, but the hammer.

Reviews

The carbine is a reliable and safe operation. It is convenient in the case when you have to shoot fast and not particularly thinking, for suddenly appearing and quickly receding target or under direct threat of life. Longitudinal movement of the forearm allows you to shoot with greater rate of fire than the classic bolt rifles.

The accuracy and effective firing range is higher than semi-auto. According to this indicator, fits Remington 7600 1.5 MOA. Manual reload allows you to use ammo of any quality. The only restriction is that for a .308 Win is better to use standard NATO ammunition, as the drilling chamber already imported than domestic.
