Here is an interesting little rifle that I'd almost bet that most of you have not seen. I have had mine for almost fifteen years and I'd be very reluctant to part with it.
Here is a review I did on it for the Kansas gun forum.
The first time that I saw this little carbine was at one of the gun shows at the Kansas Coliseum. At the time, I was intrigued with it, but thought to myself, that I'll sleep on it, then make a decision later on. I had a birthday coming up, so a few days later, I decided to get myself a present: this little Remington.
A short description of this carbine would be this: it is a scaled-down Model 760 or 7600 in 5.56mm or 223 Remington. Rather than the standard four-shot magazine of the 760 series, there is a major departure, however. The 7615 accepts standard AR-15/M16 magazines. There is even an AR-style magazine release.
At first, the action was a little rough but it is starting to smooth out, and should be butter-slick before long.
There are no gas ports to clog up so this rifle will digest anything that it is fed, even ammunition with a reputation for being dirty. Here, I am thinking of Wolf, and other Eastern European brands. I shoot Wolf quite a bit, as it is cheaper, and I hesitate to put it through my Bushie, so I use it in manually-operated rifles a lot. And I concede that I may be making too big a deal out of this.
It is fairly lightweight and handles well, but my rifle marksmanship is so abysmal that I cannot really give any accuracy reports. Being that it is a Remington however, accuracy in more competent hands than mine should be pretty good.
For those who are interested in a 223, but for whatever reason don't want a semi-auto, the Remington 7615 may very well fit your needs. BTW, they also make it as a standard rifle, with wood furniture, and as a turkey gun as well, with camo finish.
Mine is a police carbine because that was what the Bullet Stop had. But it is civilian-legal. The picture I posted is what mine looks like. It is the one with the conventional-shaped stock and the rear sights on the barrel.
It is no longer made and the last ones were, I understand, shipped to Australia where they fetch a good price.
