a1abdj - I thank you. With your help I got it. I stuck the change key into only wheel three and gave it 1/4 turn then pushed it all the way in and gave it another 1/4 turn. Now the wheels lock and unlock together. What I think happened is that one of the previous owners (not me - honest!)...

I took the back off of the lock. I lined up the wheels to the change position. I inserted the change key and turned it to the change position. I notice, through the hole in the wheel, to the right of the change key hole, that only one of the little brass plates, I think it is called a lever...

Yes, the lock works OK on the old combination. At least it did before I started messing with it.

Does the 6741 use a different change key than the 6730? We don't have any 6741 locks at work. Thanks, Jim

Maybe the reason the first guy sold it! Can this happen if someone took the back off of the lock and tried to change the combination with the back off and does not have the key in correctly or turned the key and pulled it out in the wrong position?

I am having a problem with a S&G 6741 lock. It is on a safe that I bought used from a fellow who also bought it used. He warned me that when he got the safe he tried to change the combination and was not able to do it. I tried to change the combination and there is something wrong. After...

I have the same safe and had the same issue and questions. The safe seller told me that none of them (the RF model gun safe or the Amvaults, a commercial jewelers safe) had the seal, but I had trouble believing him. I spend quite a lot of time on the phone with AMSEC and finally spoke to...

Sorry, I should have answered this question. As I recall, the rifles were early South Carolina models. I am still thinking of a new Model 70 in .458 Win Mag............

A quick follow up - I know only what I was told about the second rifle blow up. I was told that then Winchester asked the owner if he has ever used reloads he said yes and Winchester told him that even though he was using new factory ammo when the blow up happened they would not replace the...

A couple of years ago a friend was shooting his new Winchester model 70 rifle in 7mm WSM caliber when the rifle exploded. He was shooting Winchester factory ammo. Winchester replaced the rifle but my friend told me that he agreed not to talk about it. Therefore I do not know if they told him...

I think the advice here to forget Remington is good advice. If this is an example of customer service BEFORE I buy the rifle, I think if I need anything after purchase, I will be out of luck. I have a question about Winchesters blowing up that I will post in a new thread. Thanks, Jim

I have been wanting to get a .375 H&H mag for some time. Remington just brought out the 100 year anniversary model. I noticed that it has a twist of 1:10 while the other model 700 rifle chambered in .375 has a twist of 1:12. All other rifles of which I am aware are 1:12. I sent an e-mail to...

It must have been about 20 years ago now, but my friend, an off duty police officer, was in a mens room. He was in the process of washing his hands when he was grabbed from behind by two people. The fight was on. It quickly turned in to a half fight half rolling around on the dirty mens room...

Disconnector seems to be working properly and spring is in place. Bolt is in battery. I am about to pull out what small amount of hair that I have left! Jim

I wish I had an answer for you, I made the post about my Marlin 70PSS that suddenly developed a failure to fire. Like you, I cleaned it and inspected it and can find nothing worng, but it still fails to fire. Good luck to us both. Jim
