    My son had a Woodmaster 30-06 and his chamber would not eject a shells and the shells had a long scrape mark on them when dug out of the chamber. After research and careful examination of the barrel it had a crack in it. I bought him a used barrel from one of the gun shops on line. Never another problem. He later traded it for a 270 bolt action gun and hasn't looked back since. He got what was paid for the gun on the trade in. But I lost a $125 buck on the deal. LOL He was lucky he didn't blow it up in his face. I'd get it and sell it on a gun buy back with the police department and settle for the loss. At least it will be destroyed hopefully.

    I agree with Lowe, they aren’t much when used hard and not taken care of. I bought one from my local pawn/gun shop with the stipulation that it would shoot a tolerable pattern, which it never did. I owned a BAR in 3006 that was accurate and dependable, but it was a bear to carry. Been a bolt action person since. The Winchester 100 was a good one too but only used it 1 trip, borrowed from a friend.
    Creativity is just intelligence fooling around

    Many of the problems with feeding and ejection in the 742 Rem. and its prodigy can be traced to a dirty chamber or a bent, or worn magazine (clip). Buy a chamber brush made for the gun, and give the chamber a thorough cleaning. If that is not the problem, inspect the magazine for deformed feed lips and straighten if possible. If the magazine appears to hang, disassemble and clean. Look carefully for burrs and remove. If it still has feeding/ejection problems, replacing the magazine may be another option.
