Remington 512

[DerWolf]

Hey guy's I have my Great Grandfathers Remington 512, shot it quite a bit 2 years ago without any issues, cleaned it well after every use, but now when I go shooting I have a problem where when you pull the bolt back to eject and chamber a new round there is a little follower that is supposed to pop a new round up, but it doesn't seem to want to pop up, I've soaked it solvent and lubed it up but nothing seems to fix it. So I’m wondering if anyone has a disassembly manual so I can take it apart and try to fix the problem. The gun is only worth about 100 bucks so I don’t think it would be worth it to take it into a gunsmith knowing that can get expensive. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Take it to a gunsmith,

You already bragged that it was your great grand fathers gun, there is no use trying to teach you gunsmithing on something that is a family heirloom - when you can have it repaired for $15!

There are many safety issues involved with guns - where you have to know what you are doing - in order to repair something.

Soaking in oil and cleaning is not going to repair a broken, bent, or damaged / missing part.

Point taken, I regularly disassemble my other firearms for cleaning and they are very simple but just the looks of this are way over my skill level. The primary reason I was apprehensive about taking it to a gunsmith for repair was I've looked online and even in perfect condition, which this gun is in, they're not worth a whole hell of a lot being a family heirloom aside I had heard that gun smith charges can rack up fast so I didn't really want to spend $100 or $150 bucks on a gun that's worth $150-200 bucks, once I'm able to go out and do some plinking again I'll take it in to a local smith and see what they say. It would be nice to have it operational again shooting the .22 is much kinder on the wallet than other calibers . Thanks for the info Rifleman appreciate it.
