Wow - awesome!
You have 40 year old 742 that still works must not have shot it much.

Ha Ha I found one missing, for my Romanian M69.
But that appears to be because none exist except for an enthusiast booklet published in 2010 (which I’m going to purchase for $6.95).
Thanks for the thread!

Thanks
Thank you.
This is true. In fact, not yet. Clearly you know something of the piece.
I knew some of its history, but as it was supposedly from original owner who rarely shot it, and is in 98% condition, I figured I wasn’t risking much to get it.
I’ll still breaking it down to do an ultra clean and lube on it as well as a closer look at the condition of the receiver before I shoot it. It looks very good from what I can see so far.
Rumors are there are many who’ve kept them clean who have had no problem with them.
Did you ever have one? You’ve heard the horror stories, I’m sure. Is the rumor true that Remington actually wanted to recall all of them?
Romanian M69
interesting .22 trainer. Not too many of those around.
Yeah, I always get stuck with the trainers. Owned a trainer airplane at one time, have a helicopter trainer right now (but it’s just a flying model).
The M69 I feel very comfortable with, for some reason, like I used it as a kid. Very simple and straightforward and everything’s intuitive (except for disassembling the bolt, maybe). This particular unit seems to have had lighter use than many.
Preppers’ PING!!

NEVER take a Sig autoloader apart beyond removing the slide assembly.

This is a good link. So I bookmarked, because I have no idea exactly what we have or may have later, and I appear to be out of ink.
Now, if I could beg your pardon, but someone noted what the best tasting dehydrated milk was, and I wrote a note to myself to check it out. I seem to have lost the note.
So if someone could let me know the best tasting and best source for it, I would appreciate it. Thanks.
I have looked at lots of 742 recivers.
Keep them clean yes but that really has nothing to do with their major flaw.
The rails inside the reciver start to chip some where between 200 and 400 rounds causeing the most trouble.
Some well go longer some less look through the mag well and you can see the chipping if it has taken place.
If they are still good and you don’t plan on shooting it much just a few rounds per year they last a long time.
Yes they can be a bear if you don’t hold it at a certain angle so the pieces line up inside,its like angle one way and then angle it another. I remember taking apart my Remington Model 11 autoloader shotgun. the first time, not the most difficult but its a trial of patience.
Thanks for the ping!
RR - thanks for the information. I’ve researched this a lot, and never read your statement on the 200 - 400 rnds. being the point of damage.
Read of many who kept the rifle super clean and lubed who say they’ve shot a lot of rounds over many years with no problem. But then, no one has quantified it like you did.
I do understand the design flaw of the receiver being too soft a metal. Too bad someone (especially Remington) didn’t manufacture a receiver that was hard enough once the cause was determined.
No, I plan to shoot it rarely and just keep it in the collection. But I do want to shoot it. We have plenty of deer on our acreage - almost a thousand acres of forest around us, and 1/2 our 15 acres is wooded. I’d love to get a buck with it using only the open sights.
No chipping in mag well thankfully.
Be sure to order a significant number of false flag manuals so no one can use your download history to catalog your arsenal. :)
Crap. The Mossberg 472/479 Lever Action 30-30 carbine isn’t on the list. I have the basic manual but it lacks detail.
