Remington 742 Woodmaster

dustinfox
Hi all

Anyone fill me in on a lil info about these rifles? Had one handed down to me, it was one mfg between 1951 and 1960 chambered in 308cal. I have read some horror stories about these rifles was wondering what truth there is this. The rifle looks as if it has only been fired a few times shows very lil wear.

My concern was the fact that the reciver(slide) wouldn't lock back so I could manually load a single round not to mention when I insert the clip and slide the action back it will not chamber a round, was wondering if maybe I should just throw it up over the fireplace..lol. Any info would be great.

Thank you!!

    I have a Remington 742 Woodmaster 30-06 but I'm not sure which version it is (ADL or BDL). The rifle is in overall excllent condition. No scratches or dings, no wear on the metal, It really looks like it has spent most of its life in the gun cabinet.

    I would like to know what it is worth and also how to tell if it is a BDL or ADL. I have photos but not sure if they can be posted here.

    Thanks!

    there is a 'sticky' above about posting pix. if it has checkering and a check rest on the stock it is a bdl. these usualy sell for $200 to $400 IF the inside of the receiver isn't 'chewed' up, and the bolt face isn't chipped.

    There is a sticky at the top for photo instructions.

    The BDL should have a black forend tip and pistol grip cap.

    The 742 ADL had regular checkering, and no raised comb(cheek rest). The BDL, had BASKET WEAVE checkering, and a Monte'Carlo raised comb(cheek rest).

    Either in good condition here in the North East, would bring $300.00-400.00.

    At $295 I don't think I can pay for shipping.

    At 295 I'd consider paying the shipping - could you e-mail some photos to me? I'm primarily interested in the bolt face and receiver rails.

    I can try... You mean the front of the bolt that impacts the chamber to extract shells? As far as the "receiver rails," I don't know what that means.
