Sounds like the Bolt Hold Open Mech is damaged.

Since there is little replacement parts available I would walk away from it and find one that doesn't need anything.

Call Grice Gun Shop Clearfield PA...
They carry all those obsolete sling mounts..

Just a thought, but if you can disassemble the rifle, why not take a propane torch and gently heat the barrel and see if the lead will come out on it's own. Maybe you could push a brush up and down the bore a couple of times while you are heating it. There is a lot of different foul remover compound...

Large file size is a common problem with cell phones. You need to download the picture to your home computer, send it to Paint, reformat it in a smaller size and then send it to this forum - if you want to post pictures. NP with not being able to post pictures, we have probably seen every model of G...

From the pictures that you posted, you need to shove a cotton rag inside of the action, take the screw out of the end of the forearm, slide the forearm forward. Clean the metal tube that the forearm is mounted to. Then reassemble and adjust the forearm so that it does not rub the barrel. It appears ...

If you look at the Remington Web site - there is a list of production dates and serial numbers. Being one of the last RKW stocks made - those guns are very nice compared to the ones made in the 1950's and early 60's.. The first Gamemaster I bought was a 1958 35 Remington model 760 - not a carbine. I...

I'm sorry, but I would have to disagree with the other posters on the subject of cleaning and the best ammo for the .35 Remington. Because the .35 Remington Gamemaster is not a tubular feed rifle, the 150 gr round is a much better choice of ammo. You can buy ammo online any day of the week, just don...

You group is stringy which denotes that you have some kind of problem either with the barrel or more likely the stock.

It was not designed for 2300 fps or faster, and trying to go faster is only going to make it unstable.

A good can of foaming gun scrubber can go a long ways towards keeping a used firearm clean. Other solvents such as brake cleaner, carburetor cleaner - should only be used in a dire emergency. Some people are so anal that they think that they have to field dress their rifle every time they shoot it. ...

Go Away! Crawl back under what ever rock you crawled out from and leave me alone. If you want to talk about appraised value of firearms, this topic should be discussed in some other type of forum, not here! I can talk prices with you probably longer than you can... Having grown up in the shadow of ...

Remington 600 - we are all entitled to our own opinions. What you have posted is in fact your opinion. If you wish to post your opinion and not be attacked for your comments, then you also have to allow me to post my opinion - regardless of if it is a educated response or not! I will give you a exam...

As previously stated - this forum is more of a help section then an appraisal service. We don't appraise firearms here, but we do talk about them. The Woodsmaster had a bad reputation for being slow to cycle, jams and shoddy craftsmanship. The Gamemaster was a much better firearm from the perspectiv...

From what I can remember, the carbines were the first model 760's to use the newer generation type free float barrel. I think that the transition from the barrel spacer to the free float trombone action was probably around 1968 in the full size rifles. Its been a long time since I can remember seein...

The 721 / 722 was the cheapest gun that Remington ever made in comparison to the Model 700's made just a couple of years later. The stock had a real shabby stain on it and a real crappy finish that was known to fall off. I can only imagine that if someone was smart enough to scrape off the old finis...

Wow - I sold my Remington 760 Gamemaster .35 for $400 / with 15 boxes of shells. The .357 / 35 Caliber - 200 gr bullets are not hard to come by. Grice Gun shop in Clearfield PA can ship them to you for about $30.00 a box. I probably have a open box somewhere around here that I could make you a deal ...
