- The Model 742 Woodsmaster was produced for a lot of years. The biggest problem was poor maintenance. The chamber never gets properly cleaned so rust and scale builds up in the chamber and causes extractor problems and even can cause the bolt face to chip out at the extractor rivet. There are no new parts and Remington does not support the model.
