Cleaning The Upper Receiver

NOTE:

Check to ensure that there is no looseness between the Barrel and the Upper Receiver - if you detect

any movement by twisting with your hands, the Barrel Nut must be retorqued. Take the Rifle to a qualified

gunsmith or Remington Authorized Repair Center for such maintenance.

Using a high quality cleaner such as Rem Action Cleaner, clean all areas (inside and out) of Powder

Fouling, Corrosion and Dirt.

NEVER

use a wire brush or any type of abrasive to clean the Aluminum Upper

Receiver – you may scratch and damage the finish. A toothbrush or stiff bristle nylon brush is good for

loosening any dirt buildup, and won’t scratch the Receiver.

Clean the Firing Chamber. Dip a Chamber Brush in bore cleaner and use at least 5 plunge strokes and

3 - 360° clockwise rotations. Then swab out the Bore as described previously to remove contaminated

solution or loosened debris.

Use the Bore Brush - wet with bore cleaner - to clean carbon and powder residue from around the Gas

Tube. Run a Pipe Cleaner into the Gas Tube, clean the Bolt Locking Lugs, Bolt Rings, Firing Pin, Bolt Cam

Pin, lip of the Extractor, and inside the Bolt Carrier from both front and rear.

Wipe all components clean and dry, and inspect for excessive wear, corrosion or mechanical damage.

If you notice any excessive wear or damaged components,

. Have the rifle

inspected by a Remington Authorized Repair Center.

Cleaning The Bolt, Bolt Carrier & Components

Clean out the Gas Key on top of the Bolt Carrier with a cotton swab or a Pipe Cleaner. Also clean out any

carbon/powder residue from vent holes in the Bolt Carrier.

(picture 30)

Clean and inspect Bolt, Cam Pin, Firing Pin and Firing Pin Retaining Pin thoroughly.

CHECK THE BOLT:

Look for cracks or fractures, especially in the Cam Pin hole area.

(picture 31)

Inspect Bolt Face - Bolts with any pitting extending into the firing pin hole should be replaced.

(picture 32)

CHECK THE CAM PIN:

If it is cracked, or chipped, it should be replaced.

NOTE:

Cam Pin can only be

installed in Bolt from one side - so Ejector will be positioned correctly.

(picture 31A)

CHECK THE FIRING PIN:

If it is bent, cracked, too blunted or too sharp, it should be replaced.

(picture 31B)

CHECK THE FIRING PIN RETAINING PIN:

If it is bent, or badly worn, it should be replaced. Never

use a “Cotter Pin” as a substitute for a real Firing Pin Retaining Pin. Cotter pins are not made of heat

treated spring steel and their round head shape will cause damage.
