If you are referring to the magazine latch style from the Remington Model 7400, yes it can be used on the Remington Model 740, but you'll also need to use the spring that goes with the newer style. These latches (newer style) are available in varying heights numbering from 0 thru 5 so you'll need to make sure the right height/size is chosen to get correct cartridge feed in your rifle.

Does adl have anything to do with a rifles magazine?

You would need to tell us what adl is. I do not recognize the initials as having any meaning in firearms. I believe that this individual is talking about the Remington model 700.They were made as a model 700ADL(blind magazine that had to be unloaded by operating the bolt to unload the magazine) and the model 700 BDL which had a drop latch that could be opened and the magazine unloaded,except for the shell in the chamber.


How do you load a 22 cal magazine tube?

Depends on how it's set up. In a traditional configuration, where the tubular magazine is under the barrel, there'll typically be a cap at the end of the magazine. Rotate it counterclockwise, and pull it out. Attached to it will be a long tube and the magazine spring, and this action will open the magazine for reloading. On some rifles, such as the tubular mag fed versions of the Remington Nylon 66, the magazine inserts into the back of the buttstock. You will again need to rotate the latch counterclockwise until it unlocks, then remove the magazine.


How do you take off the magazine from a model 80 bernardelli pistol?

Most of the small Bernadelli pistols use a magazine latch at the bottom rear of the magazine. This will be slightly rounded with grooves in it. WITH YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER, pull back on the magazine latch, and pull down on the magazine. If you are not comfortable with guns, please put it in a box, and take it to a gunsmith. You will NOT be the first person to bring him a gun like that.


How do you replace a hood latch on a 1995 F150?

To replace a hood latch on a 1995 F-150, the old hood latch will have to be cut out with a blow torch. The new hood latch will have to be welded in place. Securing with bolts after welding will make the hood latch stronger than that of the original.

How do you repair the center console latch in a 2001 suburban?

i removed the latch assembly from the console lid then gently removed the latch itself from the assembly, then with some wire and paper clips joined the pieces of the latch together. then i purchased some clear potting/encapsulating compound from the local electronics store, made up a rig from a coat hanger and immersed the broken end of the latch into the compound (time spent making the support rig is well spent). after the compound set with a little time and a hobby die grinder i carved the latch to almost its original shape reassembled it and it works fine... good luck...
