How do you clean Remington 550 22 lr rifle?

Answer 1

Start by unloading the rifle, and operate the action several times to be sure it is empty. Point rifle in a safe direction, release safety, pull trigger to drop the striker. Unfasten the takedown screw on the underside of the stock, and remove action from the stock. Unscrew the receiver plug at the rear of the action (careful- under some spring pressure). Pull bolt handle back, sliding action spring and bolt out. Draw bolt handle straight out to the side, and draw bolt out of the action. STOP. Do NOT attempt to disassemble the trigger group. No, really- DON'T. It can be cleaned with spray gun cleaner. Barrel can be cleaned, and bolt and inside receiver can be cleaned. Contact Remington for an owner's manual for your rifle.
