A friend of mine just purchased an older Rem. 30/06. The receiver is clearly labeled as a Woodsmaster Model 740. This rifle however, is not a semi automatic. It's a pump gun. Other than the writing and model designation on the receiver it's identical to the older Model 760 pump rifles. This particular model has the older diamond shaped cut checkering. Anyone ever heard of a Model 740 pump gun? I'm thinking it's a factory screw up. Can anyone shed some light on this issue? Tom Z NRA Life Member | ||

Tom, It has been converted to the pump. Research Remington 740 conversions and you will find the information. Jim Please be an ethical PD hunter, always practice shoot and release!! Praying for all the brave souls standing in harms way. | |||

Thanks for the info. That certainly clears things up. I keep learning new things from this site. This gun should fit nicely into my friends collection since he also owns a Browning A-5 20 gauge that is labeled "sweet sixteen." Tom Z NRA Life Member | |||

Find a Remington maked made in Madison, NC instead of Ilion NY. Several hundred got out and Remington has been trying to get them back ever since. Longshot | |||

Can you explain? This sounds like an interesting story. Jason "You're not hard-core, unless you live hard-core." _______________________ Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt. Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure. -Jason Brown | |||
