A friend on mine bought a used Rem ADL 742 rifle. Really a nice clean looking rifle I have to admit. Little did he know at the time of purchase the rifles Bolt Rails were badly worn. He found that problem out upon his first outing with his new / (lightly) used rifle (first day of MN deer season opener.) _
Well gents at my behest I prompted my friend to call Rem Repair. {Hello Cell Phone!!}_ And for a second time He suffered another disappointment. {He was told Rem Repair don't work on 742 models any longer.}_
So he basically thought he was stuck with a single shot $350.00 Rem sow's ear._
I did a little checking on the Web with the help of my Son's Lap Top the following evening. I came across this site. (

Ahlman's has a conversion available for those fellows with worn out rail's or rusty chambered 742s. For $229.00 their favorite 742 semi rifle's can be retrofitted. WOW! _alright!!
So to speak my friends rifle went from a $350.00 sow's ear to a $579.00 silk purse that following Winter. But he's happy and that's all that really matters.
