onto this?

Would it work and be legal?
 
This is a peculiar recommendation, but I've never liked the semi sporting rifles, and they typically have low resale values... I'd recommend an M14S/M305, much cheaper, and oddly typically more accurate too, plus stone cold reliable. AND, lately, when you go to resell you get more than you paid laf. As far as semi rifles, they're the way to go for 0-300 yard hunters IMHO ;) If you like .30-06, then there's always the Garand :p Much cooler than a 7400 :D

They will if the stock is made for the 20ga 870 I guess? Gotta' ask though Pat...why would you want to? The 7400 is a jam-o-matic!:D ;)

Is that from personal experience or hearsay?

Mine is NOT a jam-o-matic, and nor are my friends. Tthe trick is to keep them cleaned and lubed.
 
The idea that they are jam-o-matics comes from their distinct ability to imprint the bolt onto the receiver. My 742 also shows this but not bad enough to jam. I don't think I'll ever buy another rifle that you have to take the barrel off to get the bolt out though.

Pete,

Its personal experience. Anybody who knows me, know just how anal I am about my firearms, i.e., my "cleaning kit" is in a large plastic toolbox that's bigger than the .50 cal ammo cans or the Plano XL dry boxes I use to transport ammo!...I keep my gun clean!:eek:

I'm also a hard core Remington fan. I currently own about 9 different Remingtons...a mix of 700s and 870s. I did own several 7400s, and despite my best efforts, they were, to be kind, tempermental. I tried different mags, handloads, small base dies and a broad selection of factory ammo. I finally got sick of dealing with them and traded them off. Before the trade, however, I let the tradee know my experience with them.:puke:

My local 'smith absolutely hates them and you've got to physically twist his arm before he'll work on one...forget trading one in, 'cause whoever ends up buying it will be bringing it back P.O.'d:dancingbanana:

Why do you think Remington finally decided to retool the 7400 and re-release it as the new for 2006 Model 740? I'm with Angus when it comes to semi-auto hunting rifles...if I have to have one, I'd opt for a Norinco M-14, maybe even a Browning BAR, but I'd much prefer my 700 or .303 Lee-Enfield. Anyone who has hunted Newfoundland knows that its not a question of if you're going to get wet and your gun full of bog, but when! Bolt guns simply offer a higher degree of probability that they'll go bang when that record book Caribou or moose steps out on the mash!;)
