Default RE: rem742 woodmaster

I own two of them. And let me tell you I can't keep them working I have had them to the gunsmith more times then I can count and spent more money on them then they are worth. I have one with the gunsmith now won't close right and when I get it closed I have a real hard time opening it,and it won't fire. The other one is waiting to go back to the gunsmith because it won't feed the new shell right so the chamber is not closing all the way. I bought them both used the first one I used for 3 years before problems developed and the second I bought for what I thought was a good deal from the wife of a friend who had passed away and that gun has never worked right. Sorry to be the barrer of bad news. I called remington and asked then about it and the guy they finnially transfered me to was a real butt head but he did tell be that these guns were known for this problem after time and that they were hard to repair if at all. And thats why they replaced them with the 7400. Now he woulden't tell me why they replaced the 7400 with the new 750. Like I said he was a real butt head. Tipical of the Remmington service Reps. I find. Good luck I hope you got yourself a good one. Mike
