Capt Nemo 882 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Traded 2 Eagle Remington 7400 10 rnd .308 mags for 2 in .30-06. Had those 2 .308's banging around for 20 years and finally got what I originally wanted! Guess good things do come to those who wait! Now to tacticool the 7400 with black fore end and rails, pistol grip collapsing stock, top rail, vented handguard, and slip on muzzel brake. It along with my 740 will be a good display on the stupidity of the assault weapons bans, as nothing really changes performance except mag capacity. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Long Shot 1,287 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) Who Makes 10 rounders for Rem 740? I've never seen one. Eta, Never mind, Brownells has them listed. Out of stock of course. I never even knew they made 10 rounders for it. Edited March 12, 2013 by Long Shot Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Capt Nemo 882 Posted March 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Eagle Manufacturing used to, if they're still in business. I saw some steel ones at Brownells made by Triple K, but they are out of stock. The 740, 742, and 7400 are almost identical except for number of locking lugs. The Eagle's are single stack, while the Triple K are double stack. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Long Shot 1,287 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Love it. I learn something new on this forum every time I log in. Maybe I'll fix up that old 742 after all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Voltia 375 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 No real point. My 742 is going to be my burial vault test gun. Gander Mtn rates those guns at 50 bucks for parts. Incompatible hardnesses between receiver rails and bolt, the receiver galls and the bolt starts chattering. It's a 5 round a year deer gun, not at 500 rounds at the range a season gun. Mine is also a piece of junk, but we got it as part of a lot. The above is prevailing wisdom on the internet, and there are some nice chewed up pics out there, or there were when I looked a couple years ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Capt Nemo 882 Posted March 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 At a buck or more a round, it ain't going to get much use! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
