I spent about 10 years working as a rangemaster on the weekends, and the Jam-A-Matic reputation is well deserved, and equally well earned. A rangemaster's nightmare is a Jam-A-Matic with see through or flip mounts and a $20.00 scope parked on top of it. If (and it's a big if) the guy can actually get the thing to cycle, and if he can put three in a row on the same target, it's more the exception than the norm. The gun's were junk. The pump was a much better rifle.
There's a gun shop up here (Ahlman's Gun Shop in Morristown, Mn) that makes a good bit of money converting 740's and 742's to pump guns. There's a reason they're better off as pumps........
