About halfway down that page it talks about the issue. There are lots more articles and discussion board posts on it if you do a google search, but imo that's one of the better ones I've seen.
Most of the guys I've talked to that have had these issues have been on forums with one guy in person. I don't know anyone else that's had any of these, as all of the guys I hunt with that use semi auto's either use 7400's or BAR's. I was very close to buying a 740 at one point which is what made me research them. That's how I found the many complaints about the receiver rails being too soft and getting damaged over time.
Thanks for the link, although I'm not familiar with the website or the expertise of the person posting that information.
I guess I'll just keep on shooting my 742 until it breaks and I can't repair it. Maybe it will last another forty years.
