Thank you this is exactly what I needed for the 581 that my uncle had stored away for over 10 years

I cannot thank you enough for this thorough and professional video. My Remington 582 had factory lubricants that had hardened to the point that it was inoperable. The rifle would fire upon closing the bolt. After disassembly and thorough cleaning; it is now safe and operates as new.

Ditto for my 581. I have the trigger group currently soaking in acetone.

Thank you for a thorough video. I really appreciate your well thought out approach. The Remington 581 I just cleaned up was bought for a birthday gift to a boy across the street, probably fifteen years ago. When he opened the gift and his grandmother saw it was a rifle, she ran out the back door of the house. I still have the gun and remind him that it's parked in my safe whenever he's ready to try it out.

Good job. Glad you found it useful.

I fixed my 581 by installing a Canjar competition single-stage trigger set at 1.25 lbs for squirrel hunting. It’ll go down to 4 ozs if needed for sporter competition. Accuracy wasn’t close to my Anschutz 1710 sporter so I had a Broughton lightweight match barrel installed with an extra action screw. Now it’ll stay with my 54-action Anschutz at 50yds.

Thank you for this great information. Just picked up a model 582 today. This will definitely come in handy.

Thanks for a very detailed video

GREAT video! Very informative. Answered all my questions!!!!

One thing I failed to mention in this video is that this video also pertains to the Remington models 591, and 592. These rifles are chambered in 5mm rem. magnum, and now that Aguila is producing this cartridge, owners can continue to enjoy shooting their vintage Remington 591 & 592 rifles. The triggers are identical to the 580 series rifles.

I have always wanted a 5mm rem mag and finally got a 592. The gun sat unused for many years and needed this exact cleaning. I wouldn't have tried it without your clear concise instructions. My trigger looked exactly like your older style example. Now it operates smoothly and is safe. I can't thank you enough.

Thank you so much for the detailed video. Recently purchased a Remington 788 .308 and the trigger was deader than a doornail. Followed your video, cleaned up the hardened gunk in the trigger housing, works like a charm. Great job and many thanks!

That was the info I could find on that repair, perfect! Thank you.

Very good video made me feel comfortable cleaning and lubing the trigger on my Remington 541T. I was hoping you would do a video showing how to disassemble and clean the bolt. 😃

EXCELLENT VIDEO SIR THANK YOU SIR

Thank you C.O. for your thorough explanation & awsome video on 58x / 54x trigger maintenance. I have done a similar job on my old (and treasured) Remi 541.S. Very wise advices, specially regarding lubes being used. I myself use that very same Hoppe's mineral oil (BTW: pH 'neutral'), mixing 95% of it with 5% pure synthetic silicone oil, as well as Litium- based grease (I use Italian Campagnolo bycicle chain grease), and suggest NOT using any 'acidic' lubes, which could affect trigger housing's integrity, since it's cast aluminum + zinc alloy. Just adding a couple suggestions: If you DO love such a jewel, I'd suggest having it stripped / throroughly cleaned / degreased following your instructions, and before re.assembly, have it Cerakoted, for protection reasons. Actually there are several finishes that mimic most alloy's colors, besides being quite impervious to many chemical agents. I'd also suggest getting a punch set, (Several options from Brownells, Weaver, Wheeler engineering, etc) that include dedicated roll.pin punches. Whenever I use Loctite, #242 Blue one is my choice, (I use a clean, sharp toothpick to apply a tiny bit to a screws' thread, before driving it back in, just snug enough. Any excess, I remove it w/ a Q.tip), for NON.permanet use.😊🙏🙏🙏🙏

Bought myself a norinco jw 105 , 556\223. has a reddot sight with tube style and it looks like a scope. I got it and the magazine latch was crooked and the magazine wasnt setting in right so took it apart and realigned magazine latch and works perfect now. And the bolt release had a chunk of metal that was making the spring to not work, it would catch and the bolt would come out. I did some work to the release and now it works perfect. Reviews say that the jw 105 is similiar to the 788 but i never had a 788 so im not too sure. The jw 105 is a copy of c z 452 or the bruno 2. Its a cheap alternative to the savage , ruger , remington rifles. Im thinking of redoing the trigger on mone and setting it to a little bit lighter. Its heavy right now and i want a bit of travel so it feels like a 2 stage trigger. If I can. I know these triggers can be worked on because theres screws and bolts that adjust. I just need to figure out which screw does what. I shoot 55 grain bullets. The norinco jw 105 looks like this 22 lr you are working on. Very similar but different looking . Same magazine latch and trigger set up but the 22 has a different trigger .

Great video as usual thanks. Have you ever disassemble the bolt?

WIll the Timney 788 trigger work in the 581? Thanks for another great video.

Mr. C. O. - I enjoy your videos. Is your firearms knowledge learned over time and experience, or have you had any professional training. I kind of think your knowledge probably comes from just diving in and doing it. Thank You and bless you and your family.

Nice detailed instructions. Not sure you have a video on it or not, but would like to see your procedure of refinishing the gun stock. I have a couple stocks I'd like to refinish when I get the time. Ones a Remington 870 and the other is a Remington 788 .243 cal.

Thanks! Canjar makes a trigger for the 580/590 series rifles, but it will cost you a mint (hundreds). Timney makes a trigger that fits the 788 action, but the bolt stop can be modified to fit the 580 rimfires, and I have heard it works well. That trigger is much more affordable.

Good

Hi sir, Bought 581 and having safety problems... After opening and closing bolt sometimes safety will not engage! Any ideas why.. Thing is doesn't do this ever time.. Most of time its after it fired and chamber next round??? Also will new style trigger assembly exchange with old style assembly without any other part exchange? Appreciate this video more than you will know if disassembly is required... Thanks and God Bless my friend

Loved your video. Question, my trigger is stuck and also I cannot get the bolt out. The safety and fire switch will not go all the way forward to release it. In your video you said to soak the trigger mechanism in acid tone to get the gunk out. Can I do that still attached to the barrel and would that loosen it up for me to get the bolt out or would I damage it? Please answer, I need help. Thanks Verlene

@CumberlandOutdoorsman

Жыл бұрын

Ok if I understand you correctly you cannot push the safety forward to depress the bolt release. So what I would do is take the action out of the stock, make sure your magazine is removed, and of course the gun is unloaded. Loosen the tension screw located at the front of the trigger housing, then punch-out the retaining pin (carefully), and remove the entire trigger group just like I covered in the video. The bolt should come right out at this point. Now soak the trigger group in break free, and/or acetone for about an hour. Follow the instructions in the video and you should be able to resolve your problem.

Most firearm factories advice to use mineral oil on their products? Cheaper and easier to find.

@@bennettguns3809 Right! I use mineral oil on my guns, and even on my reels. I keep a soft rag that is lightly saturated with mineral oil handy, so that when I put a gun away, or take it outdoors I wipe it down. So far I have never had a problem with rust or corrosion. It is very inexpensive, and free of odors, so it won't spook game. Thanks for sharing.

These guns are fantastic, but it's really too bad that the bean counters didn't allow all steel parts and flush-fitting magazines ala the earlier 510 series.

I tend to agree. I too was rather disappointed by the "cheesy" plastic barrel shroud, and plastic magazine when i got my first 581.

what does it mean if my bolt carrier moves back and forth fine but won’t engage all the way so i’m un able to fire it

How do you take the bolt apart on those rifles

My wife just inherited a Remington Model 581 22 LR from her father. From my past experience with this rifle it is prone to discharged when the bolt is closed. We are afraid to give it to a family member or sell it, because its unsafe. Does you have an idea why this might happen? Save Share Reply

Yes I do! Please don't try to load that rifle until you perform a complete service job on it just like I instructed in the video. It is most likely malfunctioning due to grease hardening in the trigger housing. Be careful!

I have a 540-x what is the difference between the two?

@CumberlandOutdoorsman

2 жыл бұрын

As far as I can tell, the actions are pretty much the same. Same bolt, same receiver, and I think the triggers are generally the same. The barrels are heavier, and of course the stock is built heavier. The Remington 540-X is known as an extremely accurate shooter.

I have a question for u on a remington 541s , there is a lot of play in stock and action, the take down screw won't tighten Any more then it is. It looks like in stock it was made for a wedge or a bedding brace. Is it supposed to have one

Ok, What you have is a bedding issue where the take down screw is bottoming against the receiver tube or body. You can glass bed the action around this area to tighten it up.

I have but in a different way. What I did was extend the threaded section of the receiver by taking a threaded nut and machine the edges down. Then I slightly ground one side concave to fit the receiver tube. I then used a bolt of the same thread pitch, threaded my round nut onto it, then threaded that into the receiver. I tightened the nut against the receiver tube and welded it in place with a clean tig weld. What I had in effect was more threads for my take down screw to engage, and a recoil lug. I did have to thread the screw a bit further so it could tighten all the way. I had to drill the hole in the stock wider about 1/4 inch deep to accommodate the threaded lug. I glass bedded that part of the stock, thereby giving me a perfect fit. Two of my 581's have this additional support, and I noticed somewhat better accuracy. I tested some SK ammo with one of them and shot an honest to God 1/8th inch group at 50 yards! I still have the target. It looks like a 38 caliber hole, but it's where five .22 bullets made a tiny group! @@coganhagen01
