There have never been any recalls on the Remington Model 742 that I'm aware of. The Remington 742 is now an obsolete model and was replaced with the Remington Model 7400. The bolt received an upgraded design along with the magazine catch/release. At one time Remington was offering a Model 7400 as a replacement for the Model 742, if you sent them your Model 742 along with $350.00. Is there a problem with the 742 that you have?
The Remington Model 742 was made from 1960 until 1980, and it was replaced by the Model 7400 in 1981.
Your remington model 742 rifle is valued at between 275-350 dollars.
The Remington Model 7400 extractor is a semicircular shaped part made of spring steel that is held in its correct location with a rivet. This rivet needs to be properly staked in place and blended with the outside diameter of the bolt head. This is a job that should be done by a competent gunsmith that has the correct equipment to do the job properly. The model 7400's extractor was changed from the earlier model 742's which as noted above was riveted in. The model 7400 has a snap in extractor - no rivet. I replaced mine by inserting a curved tool (I modified a small thin screwdriver by bending the tip) through the magazine well under the extractor to pull out the remainder of the old extractor, then snapped in the new one. The new extractor cost 20 dollars (with shipping and tax) from Remington.
There is no such model.
You are referring to the chamber brush that was included with 742 rifles when purchased new. The Remington Model 742 is no longer available and was replaced with the Model 7400, Model 4 and the Model 74. These rifles have the same outward configuration as the Model 742, with slight internal changes to the bolt locking lugs. You may be able to get a chamber brush directly from Remington for the Model 742. If they no longer offer that Model specific (742) brush, those for the 7400, 4 and 74 will work. The Model 7400, etc. has recently been replaced by the Model 750 which is very similar to all the above semi-auto rifles with an upgrade involving the gas-system. You need to specify which caliber you have. Cost will be around $10.00 plus shipping.
Most remington model 742 woodmasters are selling in the gun shops for between 275-350 dollars.

Some common issues reported with the Remington Model 742 include jamming, feeding problems, and inconsistent accuracy. These issues can often be attributed to the rifle's design and construction. It is recommended to properly maintain and test the rifle before relying on it for hunting or shooting activities.
To my knowledge the two clips are different in design,and cannot be interchanged.
