Woodmaster is the model. Grade are ADL, BDL.
The BDL has a hinged floorplate assembly allowing ammo removal from the bottom of the rifle. The ADL has a trigger guard, only it does not have a hinged floorplate in the rifle's stock. In addition, the magazine well on the ADL is a blind bottom.
ADL OR BDL? There is a difference.
It's a BDL. I know this because I own one and the replacement stocks are for BDL's...
Your best bet would be to try eBay or Gunbroker.com and look in the gun parts section of each auction site. I'm assuming you have a 742 ADL. The 742 BDL has a basket-weave style pattern on the stock and forearm. Also check e-gunparts.com
yes a BDL rifle will fit a ADL stock but the trigger guard will not but a new trigger guard can be bought for 20 to 50 dollars and brownells.com
No. The only difference is in the stock. The BDL stock is fancier with a fore end black tip on it. The same action was used in the ADL which is a plainer stock.
Actually, The 742A is the "Woodsmaster" and the 742 BDL is the "Deluxe". The differences in the two rifles are the stocks and forearms. The 742A has a rolled, impressed type of checkering and the 742 BDL has a basket weave style with the stock having a higher comb (where your cheek would rest when shooting). The receiver on the BDL has a slightly higher area where the scope is mounted.
There were 2 version of the Model 700, the ADL and BDL. The ADL-BDL designations were originally acronyms for A Grade Deluxe and B Grade Deluxe. The deluxe term was once tacked on to the end of the model designation. Physically the two rifles are very similar- the ADL has a blind floorplate for the magazine that cannot be opened from the bottom. The BDL floorplate can be opened to permit unloading from the bottom.
BDL is not an acronym for a specific word. Instead, it is a grade level that classifies the quality of the sites in a gun. BDL falls between ADL and CDL and can be determined to be either a good site or an unacceptable site depending on what the purchaser is looking for in a gun.
ADL, BDL, or older?
