How about the Rem 7400? Different bolt and gas system. At least mine has not jammed since 81 when I bought it.

Liked that basket weave checkering on the 742-760. Think it started around 66.

Good to know concerning the extractor. My Model Four is the same basically as a 7400 but not shot often. Nice gun but not worth a fortune like the old Marlin made 1894s. Have to put on consignment if I decide to sell one day.
