Just bought one from a gun show yesterday and put 5 rounds through it today. Unfortunately I had a problem with the rounds not feeding into the chamber. I think it could possibly be the magazine but I’m not 100%. I like the gun way too much to give up on it so soon so I’m going to see what I can do to fix the issue.
I'm sorry to hear you're having issues with it. Is it 30-06 and will it fire if you put a round directly in the chamber? If it fires as normal, I would clean it and oil it to make sure the gas system works properly and the bolt is lubed. If youre still having trouble I'd buy a different magazine. Keep me posted and I hope you get it working!
@@TAJArmoryyes it is 30-06 and will fire if a round is put directly in the chamber. I’ll do as you suggested and start by cleaning it and replacing the magazine which I’m sure will solve the issue.
I bought one in 85 and it would jam after every shot. The shell case would swell up in the chamber and the extractor would break a peice of brass off. Jamamatic.
@TAJArmory 30-06 180 grain. Wouldn't own another. That's why I own a BAR. Here in the south I can't think of anyone that owns a remington that doesn't jam. Maybe our humidity
I have owned a 742 in 308 win. for 53 years . I have used 180 gr. sp. point from Remington 200 gr. reloaded 168 gr. never had a jam or any kind of malfunction. .
Ich führe eine 742 in 3006 seit vielen Jahren erfolgreich auf der Jagd. Wenn man fett statt öl benutzt dann gibt es keine Probleme mit den Waffen. Sauber halten und fett statt öl dann hat mal viele Jahre Freude an der Waffe!!
I have owned several of the 742 rifles and never had a problem with any of them.for the money I found it to be very efficient and quite dependable.
Thanks for sharing! I agree, if maintained and lubricated these are excellent hunting rifles
I have an early 742 carbine in 280. Great trailing rifle.
Wow, that is a super rare rifle! Ever have any cycling issues?

I'm sorry to hear that. Was it a 30-06 and what size bullet were you using? Just curious. Thanks for your support on the channel!

Thank you for your support and sharing that. I've never heard anyone with a 308 complain... the short action is pretty nice in these.

Yes, grease wont burn off as fast and will last a little longer, especially in tougher climate conditions
Any Auto reliably lies with who maintains it. If it does not cycle correctly clean it or have someone who knows how clean it.
Absolutely! Clean it and keep it lubricated
