Another recent gun show made me bring two more home. A second .280 760/Carbine and a 760/222Rem.
This 2nd .280 Carbine has a DC of OG/July 1960 first month of production but the .222 is really interesting!
DC of it is AN which makes it March/1966, but 3106 .222's were only produced from 57-58 EXCEPT for 200 that were made in 1966 for the International Running Deer Matches according to author Gene Myszkowski. He also wrote that he has never encountered one!
