Broken extractor but not too bad, probably usable as is since the chip is small on one edge. Over all, Very dirty, well worn, especially the locking lugs.
These and the similar pumps had weak extraction overall, with the .270 (pump and auto) giving the most extraction problems and with the .270 often resulting in a bolt bound closed. But the entire range of these weapons suffer with age and use from a distinct lack of chamber cleaning, which exacerbates extraction issues.
Unless there is loads of sentimental value, might limit repairs/cost to a qualified gunsmith inspection and if pronounced serviceable, a very thorough cleaning with good chamber polish. Typically, the barrel must be removed to perform even an adequate chamber cleaning. Repairs are likely to exceed the value of the gun.
Against my better judgement I volunteered to help a buddy out with his neglected 742 woodsmaster. He had a failure to eject on the very first round he fired this year, I got the casing out and noticed the lip was notched from the extractor. Went ahead and disassembled the rifle to clean the chamber and took some pics for you smarter fellas to examine. There’s a weird bevel on one of the locking lugs on the barrel that I don’t know’s supposed to be there. And does the extractor look like it needs to be replaced ? The pics were all pre-cleaning, sorry. Got tired and went to bed after I got everything cleaned up and oiled.
