I own a Marksman Model 740 .177 pellet rifle. It has a wood-patterned plastic stock. It is a single shot rifle that folds in the middle for cocking. The safety auto-enables after every trigger pull. You must cock and reset the safety. Hope that helps.
The Marksman was made from the mid 70' to sometime in the 80's. Answers has no way of displaying photographs but I did a web search on "Markaman 740 air gun" and found several images of the rifle. It should not be hard to find them. It's a breal barrel rifle.
1740 what. Are you asking about an air rifle. If so then, Yes, there is a model 1740 air rifle.
Unfortunately this rifle is not worth repairing. In Excellent condition it is worth $18. It has an FPS of 250 FPS. That's slower than a Daisy Red Ryder. I really suggest you purchase a new air rifle. These air guns were not designed to be repaired. Marksman is owned by Beeman. If you want to try I suggest you call Marksman at 800-822-8005
