To safely clear a Remington 870, first ensure the firearm is unloaded. Visually inspect the chamber and magazine tube to confirm no ammunition is present. This critical step prevents accidental discharge during maintenance.

Disassembly involves unscrewing the magazine cap, removing the magazine spring and follower, and separating the barrel from the receiver. Internal tabs are then depressed to release the bolt and carrier, and pins are removed to take out the trigger group.

Essential tools for cleaning a Remington 870 include a punch for pins, a microfiber cloth for wiping, a bore brush and cleaning patches for the barrel, and appropriate gun cleaner and lubricant like M-Pro 7 products.
