How Do You Clean it?? Rem 750

[Ray Z]

I just picked up a Remington 750 autoloading rifle in 308 for deer hunting. I pulled it down and pretty well cleaned and lubed it from stem to stern. Only place I couldn't reach to clean was the chamber. I use the bore snakes for cleaning up the tube but I can't think of anything to the chamber. Any thoughts.

Get ya 308 bore brush and a flexible rod.

Unless it's not working properly or so dirty my hands got dirty just handling it, I wouldn't clean it.

Do you remove the trigger group and bolt? My brother has one in 30-06, years ago I cleaned and lubed it but can't remember how to remove the bolt but the trigger group comes out just like an 870 after you remove the 2 pins. I remember it was harder to re-install though. Like I said I don't remember alot about taking it down but I would think you could get something in the chamber with an empty reciever.

OK, get you a speedo cable, and make one, it will be cheaper.

Yes I do take the trigger group out. But can't get to the chamber with a chamber brush.

One of the biggest problem with these rifles is busting extractors because the chamber get neglected.

This ought to do it.

 

Don't let that bolt close on your thumb. Don't ask me how I know. :shake:

I have a brush that came with a handgun I bought, it's a .45 caliber nylon brush perminantly attached to a wire coil that I have used after bending the wire 90 degrees to get into the chamber of my 30-30. It's a little awkward but it will work somewhat.

Mine always seemed to get a sufficient cleaning when I cleaned the bore.

I found my own answer to my problem. Remington makes a "flex rod" that will do the job nicely. They have one that's 12" long. That will be all I need to get a brush into the chamber after taking the trigger assembly out. It was , It was like 6 bucks.
