hey all
I bought a Remington 742 Carbine in 30-06 last weekend at a gun show. It was in pretty good shape and the lug teeth looked good still so for $300 I said what the heck... It shoots real good and didn't Jam a shell or anything but I only shot 20 rounds so far. One thing that did happen is that I fired a round and a second round failed to "pick up" and chamber from the magazine just once. This does make me nervous because that is the last thing I need on a hog hunt if i need a fast second shot. I wish I could totally de militarize my AK 47 to look like a BAR hunting rifle so I wouldn't be "odd looking" hunting with it. Never had one jam, feeding problem, or failure of any type and I have shot maybe 1500 rounds out of it. Its A Norinco MAK 90 by the way.
