I'm looking for a remington woods master 742 carbine for my wife for Christmas if anyone has one or knows someone that has one.

Got an older model 7400 in .270

What caliber?

.270, 30.06

Send me a pic of that gun please 2567060276

Why? You wanting to make sure she will have something that will jam in her hand when your big ol target buck comes by her....thus making sure she don't kill him?

Sorry....couldn't resist.

there's a reason it's called a "jamomatic"!

Ya'll need to lay off. I have one and it has never jammed. I am just trying to decide it I want to get rid of it. It's a good shooting little gun. Mine is 30-06.

Mine never jammed... after I learned why they give you that cute little bent brush that cleans where the shiny thingys pop out the side when you shoot.

It's called oil there hoss. And I have never had one jam. My brother has one he has owned for years and its never jam. Try cleaning your guns. Lol

i got one 30-06 that has never jammed but some i have seen will not pull the hull out . all the cleaning never helped them . cleaning will not help machining flaws .

imo ,,,, buy a different gun . it ain't worth the trouble if you get one that jams half the time .

Who's worried about jams? Make the first shot count. Like my grandfather used to tell me "I'm going to carry two shells today just in case I see a snake".

i love the semi remingtons, yes i have had a couple jam time to time ,but if the are taking care of right and not abused there are fine rifles . buy the carbine i think you will be glad you did

That's right one shot one kill

Anybody heard anything about the woodsmaster. Anybody got one.

thats what i have , 742 woodsmaster 30-06 . not a carbine though . the 30-06's are what i've seen have the most problems with jamming . would not pull the hull out , would have to knock it out with a rod .

as i said though never had a problem with mine . it'll spit through a 10 round clip before you can bat a eye almost . also as i said before in cases cleaning or oiling them will not fix them .

pm sent to you buckslayer

My dad has got a 742 in the 30/06 caliber. It has never gave him any problems.

if the bore isnt cleaned often . it will rust and pit . the shell will go in easy .but when the bolt trys to eject it. the casing hangs on the rough pited surface .and it doesnt come out so easy .this only one reason they may jamm .they are know as jamomatics as some one said earlyer. 99% caused by neglect of the owner or user imo. in saying that if you are person that doesnt clean after each hunt then pass on the remington. but imo there are fine "hunting" rifles when taken care of . i would love to find a 308 carbine myself

I've got a 742 Woodmaster in .308 that my father gave me around age 11 and to this day I still use it all gun season. I take great care of all our guns and due to wear she will have an eject issue every now and then. I've been saying for years it's time to buy another rifle but just can't seem to put her aside.
