Re: would someone share a disassembly/assembly manual:
FYI: you can request and obsolete manual from Remington, click sportsman library, Downloads, Owners Manuals, then after the online ones there is a request and obsolete manual. You have to register to get it but there's no cost to do so.rsr1950 wrote:i have a remington mod. 552 and am asking someone who knows how to take it apart and reasemble to please help. either with written instructions or a manual with pictures the wood needs to be refinished and it hasn't ever been cleaned and is so full of crud i don't see how it still operates.

I'll create another gallery for obsolete manuals if someone sends me copies digital preferred but I'll return original paper... This should greatly annoy the people selling photocopies on ebay... Of course maybe even gun manuals are now baned....

A gun that has been abused that bad should not be fired until it has been thoroughly gone over by a competent gunsmith.
Although a good cleaning and a visual inspection is very important part of gun repair, it is not the only thing that is required to turn an abused weapon into a workable weapon.
A gunsmith can go over things that you cannot. Even go so far as to test the hardness of the barrel and receiver.
Your best bet is to load it up and take it to the gunsmith.
If the stock is in need of repair, pay the man a couple of dollars and have it done professionally.
If I had a dollar for every gun stock that I have saw in my lifetime that was butchered by a backyard gun owner that thought that they could do the job themselves. I would be a millionaire.
