@@chrissheathewoodguy unbeknownst to a lot of people, but I had friends that worked for Remington under the forearm is the gas chamber to cycle the bolt. There is a small hole in the barrel to pass the gas to the chamber. The hole gets plugged up with copper from the bullet and the bolt won't cycle as it should causing the shell not to eject. Keep the hole clean and Wala!
@@Twobrothersoutdoors the frames were the issue. they were know for wearing out the guide rails inside. the bolt would rock back and forth leaving bad spot that the bolt would jame on. had quite a few of them. the pump did not have that issue.
@chrissheathewoodguy yes the 7400 series had those issues. The older models were made of better steel and didn't tend to wear like that. Mine Is a 1961 742 it was like new when I bought it in 1974. Even though I've hunted with it on and off for 50 years it still has very little wear on it.
Rick’s machine sounds like a Skidder must be the exhaust quite loud ha ha.
@@eastcoastcabinfever still stock exhaust. Did seem a little loud on video though
@ yah I sure did. Could be it being in the woods. Acoustics.
Love Remington pumps very reliable
@@BrettMarsden-h7u this one is a semi. I've had it 48 years of good service.
The next cherry project is to complete a corduroy road across the swamp 😁🤣
@@southernadirondackoutdoors just torture us
Nice hunt guys ! Not much action here !
@@HedgehogLodge-Dale it's nice to see deer with every comfortable sit.
Well, we did stop burning it as firewood, BUT we do need some more firewood racks... 😁
