Does not exist. The 742 is a semi-auto.

A Remington Model 760 magazine "CAN" be used in the Model 742 Remington if they are the same caliber. The 742 rifle is designed to hold the bolt back after the last round is fired. Along the left side of the 742 magazine there is a bolt release button that will allow the bolt to move forward after a full mag. replaces the empty one. The 760 mag. has the same magazine body but does not have the bolt release button so the bolt will not move forward until the mag. is removed.
A Remington 742 BDL has a different stock and forearm than the 742 ADL. The stock of the 742 BDL has a cheek plate and the forearm is slanted at the front with a different type bolt which secures it. The 742 ADL is the most common type and easier to find if one is trying to purchase a 742.
It's probably best to ask a expert.
There have never been any recalls on the Remington Model 742 that I'm aware of. The Remington 742 is now an obsolete model and was replaced with the Remington Model 7400. The bolt received an upgraded design along with the magazine catch/release. At one time Remington was offering a Model 7400 as a replacement for the Model 742, if you sent them your Model 742 along with $350.00. Is there a problem with the 742 that you have?
Remove the firing pin from the rear and the locking bolt will side out the side of the bolt
742 40/4 = 752= 742 + 40/4= 742 + 10= 752
The Remington model 740 was the first semi-auto rifle chambered in 30-06,and was made from 1955-1959.The Remington model 742 was the next design and made from 1960-1980.I believe that the difference might be the gas piston,and the way the bolt locked up in the chamber(more bolt lugs).
remove shifter boot/ 4 screws to floor board remove nut from cross bolt install nut on opposite side of cross bolt and tighten nut cross bolt is tapered, this will remove cross bolt
You can find it on ebay. I found the plastic cover and there are manuals sold there also.
742-349 = 393
