Frequently Asked Questions

How do you disassemble the trigger group on a Remington 572 Fieldmaster?

To disassemble the trigger group, first remove the magazine tube and barrel assembly. Then, tap out the two cross pins holding the trigger assembly in place using a nylon hammer to avoid damaging the receiver.

What are the recommended cleaning supplies for the Remington 572 Fieldmaster?

Essential cleaning supplies include lint-free towels, flannel patches, an M16 brush, a cotton bore swab, a cleaning jag, a high-quality coated cleaning rod, and a suitable solvent like mineral spirits or Hoppe's No. 9.

What is a key maintenance tip for the Remington 572 Fieldmaster's magazine tube?

A useful tip is to apply a very small amount of petroleum jelly to the inside of the magazine tube. This provides enough friction to prevent the tube from sliding out unexpectedly during use or handling.

Why is it important to keep the receiver interior dry when cleaning the Remington 572?

Keeping the interior contact surfaces of the receiver dry ensures the barrel seats tightly. Excess oil can cause the barrel to 'float,' potentially affecting the rifle's accuracy and reliability.
