Most Rem 740/742/7400/4 owners only clean from the muzzle, and the chamber never gets clean. Leftover powder residue in the chamber gets hard, and grips the case walls impeding extraction, and viola....a jam.

Keep those chambers clean.


BINGO! Keep the chamber clean! We had a wire brush we got from Brownells that was designed to clean the chambers on these rifles.
