How Do I Disassemble a Remington 572?

Proper maintenance of a gun is essential for all gun owners, whether hunters or gun collectors. Taking the gun apart and giving it a complete field stripping ensures that the inner workings of the gun remain clean and in optimal condition, allowing it to fire as needed for hunters and lowering the risk of damage for collectors. It is important for an owner to disassemble and reassemble his gun every few months for optimal care.
