Not a single Remington 7615 for sale on GB on 7.15.19

One of my favorite firearms is a Remington 7615. It is a pump action rifle like the Remington 760, but is chambered in .223/5.56 and it takes standard magazines. I can attest to the fact that 10 round Bushmaster and PMAG magazines operate well. The gun is well-made and sturdy. Only problem is that the original recoil pad, from a well-known manufacturer, gets gooey and needs to be replaced. I think the original thought behind it was to provide a high capacity -- but not semi-auto -- patrol rifle. Another selling point was that it operated like the widely used Remington 870 shotgun.

Curiously, as of today, July 15, 2019, there is not a single Remington 7615 for sale on GunBroker.

Here is an Internet picture from a 2006 online auction:

That would use your stock of .223 / 5.56 that would otherwise likely become useless if the average AR format was made impossible.

I suspect there is demand in states where the AR is already limited.

I've been thinking about a bolt action .223 for that reason. But then I couldn't get up to answer the door today, so less thinking

After semi-autos were banned in Australia, the 7615 remained legal and became very popular. Don't know if it is still legal down under.

The New York so-called SAFE Act banned unregistered 7615's, but I believe an appeals court threw out that part of the Act as there was no support for banning those rifles. I do not know the current status of 7615's in New York State.

They are out of production. Probably not much demand with 5.56 mm semi-autos cheap and plentiful at present but they may be made again.

The Remington Model 7600P in .308 isn’t easy to find either. Always wanted one of those......

I had one in 223...surprisingly accurate. Sub Moa consistently
Sold it after getting a matching pair of 760s. One in 222 the other in 223. Not seen every day
