Lots of articles on the Remington Model 742. Some people like them & some not so much. However it's pretty much generally accepted that the gas system fails due to carbon buildup after a number of shots.
I currently have about 150 rounds through mine & it still cycles fine. For any gun that's a very small amount but from what I've read it could be a lot for a 742.
Does anyone have a rough estimate of the number of shots a 742 will fire before maintenance to the gas system is necessary?
