You can look up the date of manufacture via serial number. A quick google search says that they were made from 1981-1995 without much good info on how rare that chambering was. The Remington Society might have more info for ya on value.
David E Petzal over at Field & Stream just rereleased an article on why the Jam-o-matics sucked so badly as rifles - TLR version is that they were a PITA to keep clean, so no one ever did and most of them never really worked well. I still think that they are cool guns.

Countless big-woods deer hunters love the Remington Model 742 family of autoloaders. Here's why our rifles editor doesn't even like them.

I love Dave Petzal. Even when he’s wrong he’s hilarious.

Cleaning it wasn’t so bad I had it stripped to the receiver in about 30 mins knocked the roll pins in the gas block out checked to make sure that little ball bearing was in there got it all a good cleaning and had it all back together in about another 30 mins I just can’t find anything about them

Sounds like you got a good one. What condition is it in?

In total, back in the day, I probably hunted with a Remington Autoloader for nearly 20 years. This includes a 742, Model 4, and a 7400. I never had one fail or jam in the woods. I did break an extractor on the 742 at the range; but it was a fairly easy fix.

A U-Haul truck would struggle to haul all the I deer killed with those guns.

I have long since moved to bolt guns. But there is absolutely nothing wrong with a Remington autoloader if you know how to keep them clean.

What exactly do you want to know about them?

They have a horrific reputation for jamming and being unreliable. However, I know a few people who have owned them for many years and never had issues.

Can't speak to the rifle but the 6mm is really an awesome deer cartridge. I have one in the R700, and it's accounted for a fair number of deer
