My dad has a remington 740 woodsmaster in 30-06. he has had it for years and it just sits in the safe. He said that it puts a dent in the primer but does not fire the shell and he has tried all kinds of ammo. the smith said either the spring is worn out or the firing pin is worn out and that it would cost more to fix it than to buy a brand new gun. Not sure I believe that. does anyone here have an idea or a place to get parts. Would just like some input before i take it to another smith. thanks in advance.

I may have a firing pin from a 742, the "newer" bastard cousin to the 740.
I agree with janesy, take it to someone that knows these rifles.
