So deer season came and gone, with no success, at all. Not even close lol. But I borrowed a family members rifle for it. He asked me to clean his rifle for him, graciously I agreed to it. WOOPS. This is not the ar15 simplicity. And, being not the most common gun, there is not many videos or tutorials that offer advice, so I am turning to my fellow new-englanders.

Now for the two issues at hand.
One is a spring that fell out of where the front swivel is. This is the tiniest of springs. It fell out of the area near the screw. I have attached a picture of it. Where the hell does it go?

Now for the bigger problem:

The magazine release. It popped off when I was rubbing it clean. And I cannot figure out how to properly reattach it. I thought I had it correct, but the magazine will not stay in correctly unless i push the release to lock the mag in. I am just trying to put this back together so I dont look like too big of an idiot, but I obviously want it to work.

IF anyone has a remington 750 and can offer some photos or a video tutoral, or really just some kind words, i would be seriously appreciative.
 
That is what I have found and tried, but the magazine doesnt lock in when I put it in the gun, only when I push the magazine release will it properly lock in place. It is also very loose feeling.
 
Sniper forum link above, #3, First picture on bottom and third picture on left shows how the spring should look behind the mag release. Long side of spring pointing to rear on shelf for tension, short side through hole in back of mag release. Do you have the long side of the spring up on the shelf?
You might have to "straighten" the spring to provide more tension if it is installed correctly...

Try looking up videos for the 7400 or 742 darn near the same rifle. 742 was pretty popular.
