Then I bent the spring straight, put it all back together and its working great again. I just stuck the drill bit in my dremel and used a key file to shape it and cut it to length. REMINGTON 742 243 WOODSMASTER RIFLE EXCELLENT CONDITION 22 INCH BARREL Hartington, NE 68739, Used, 1 week ago. So looking at the plunger that I did have, I measured it with my calipers and ended up just making another one out of an old drill bit. There are 2 springs and plungers under the bolt latch and they were both supposed to be the same plungers. This video is a Remington 742 Woodsmaster. When I got home from mike I sat down and took it apart the rest of the way. Shooting the Remington 742 30-06 with a demonstration of the common jamming problem caused by a worn magazine. It ended up bending the spring and locking the bolt carrier in place. Many actual 742 problems are the result of ignoring proper cleaning and oiling procedures for the whole rifle. As mentioned, a little more down adjustment on the die may fix the problem. Turns out a little plunger had fallen out and let the bolt latch slide back to far. Chances are it's the brass, not the rifle. Got it fixed: I went to mike's and he got the barrel off for me, and also showed me what had happened and what i was missing. I was holding it upside down when this happened, dont know if that matters but, Any info on this would be very helpful as I cant afford to take it into a shop to get it fixed. I put a few drops of CLP on the bolt to help break up any carbon that may have been there and while I was racking it a few times to get the CLP into it, the bolt locked up and now it wont lock into the chamber. Ok I have this Remington 742 Woodsmaster 30.06, I finally got the time to sit down an clean it up for storage. One of the most common problems with the Remington 740 & 742 is that after much use the receiver rails will get worn.
