Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Gunsmithing bought a decent condition Remington 742 Woodmaster

First time posting here. Had to add that my friend came into a 740 with badly damaged guide rails. I milled flats on a 3/8 inch brass rod and tapped it into the raceway and TIG welded the damaged area. Cleaned up the excess and the old thing functions perfectly. We have only shot it about twenty five times but it shows no hint of failure in the repaired area. Dale
