Basic Take-Down & Reassembly (all models) - Remington 870 Tips & Tricks #9

[@eliseyoumans5032]

Ive had my 870 more than likely since before you were born. I have always cleaned after shooting, but never until now a complete take down. Your video was was 100% helpful and gave me the confidence to do a complete and long overdue full cleaning. Your knowledge and presentation is so helpful and very professional, great job and thank you so much.

[@Red_Spirit11]

Well said!

[@MadMonk67]

This is the best, clearest video for the 870 tear down I've seen. As a new 870 owner, I thank you for dong this.

[@Floridaman1780_]

Dude, you need to make a how to video on making a how to video. Excellent work my friend.

[@clems6989]

Agreed ! Great job !

[@rob6850]

Well said!

[@vergedrums]

Seriously holy cow great job explaining!! Made it look easy!

[@evanwindom3265]

This is EXACTLY what I'm looking for when I use KZbin videos: Minimal preamble, simple specific steps with advice on step order and warnings about potential "gotcha" spots. Very nicely done, and exactly what I needed. 19:38 well spent.

[@67DUTCHMAN]

In all my 75 years of disassembling, cleaning and repairing Remington shotguns, THIS is absolutely the most complete, easy to understand and very clear instructions. He gives us ALL the hints that make it easier and more professional looking. Go no further. This man gets it right the first time.

[@ChrisDavis-ju7tx]

As a 2111 in the Marines I have seen and listened to hundreds of weapons experts who make things overly technical, this by far is one of the best weapons disassembly videos out there for straight forward simplicity. Outstanding!! keep up the quality work.

[@SynchronizorVideos]

High praise coming from a 2111. Thank you.

[@wbbelcher]

Almost 10 years after you made this, and here I am trying to remember how to take apart an 870. (I haven't owned one in almost that long.) I came across this. You, sir are an EXCELLENT presenter. No unnecessary "ummmm", "ahhhhh", "yeah", "you know", "I think". You speak clearly, get to the point, and waste zero time without endless repetition and unsolicited opinions. This was well shot and well edited, too. I'm subscribing even though I see you haven't made a video in 4 years. I can only hope life is treating you well.

[@floatahhh]

Why tf is it so complicated I might have to get someone to build it for me. I have the super mag one

[@garret_thorne]

So I know I'm nearly 7 years late to the party, but I want to thank you for this extremely informative video. Just stripped and cleaned my father's 870. He passed 10 years ago and this shotgun has been sitting unmaintained for at least a decade. Your video was absolutely perfect; exactly what I needed for a tear-down, cleaning, and reassembly. Thanks again!

[@retiredatforty]

This is the single best instructional video I have ever seen on firearms, and I say that as a person who has worked in learning and development for decades. You speak clearly, provide clear, relevant visuals, and don’t gloss over details. This video is the standard by which all others of its type should be judged. I have never been so excited to subscribe to a channel. If the rest of your content is like this, it’s like I found a gold mine. Thank you for what you do.

[@oldmatelots2748]

+1 for an excellent presentation. I'm a new 870 Tac owner and just found this vid. Very clear and methodical, good camera work and narration. I'm no longer feeling so twitchy about the first cleaning job.

[@Mutxny]

I usually don't leave comments, but I have a shotgun I haven't taken apart in 6 years because I straight up don't know how.. well, didn't know how. Thanks for the lesson.

[@diegobxr]

Sir, I know this is a 6 year old video, but in case ypu see this, just wanted to thank you for your effort. Purchased a Remington 870 Wingmaster and your vid made it a breeze to dissasemble it and put it back together. Thank you.

[@SynchronizorVideos]

Glad to hear it helped.

[@andrewandstacieweller1927]

Holy CRAP!!! I have been struggling to get this back together... UNTIL I WATCHED THIS VIDEO! It literally took about 2 minutes after your help!!! THANK YOU!!! Again a HUGE. THANK YOU!

[@BigDozer60]

EXCELLENT VIDEO!!!! Clear instructions, great detailed information that made it easy for me to pick up the procedure. Thank You for taking the time, sir!!!! I appreciate it!!! :)

[@67DUTCHMAN]

I already commented that this is the most easily understood video: clear, easy and complete. SO.....just to test that, I got my 8, 9 and 11 year old granddaughters to the cleaning table (only one of them had ever handled a gun of any kind) played the video for them, reviewed the names of the parts, then watched them disassemble two Remington 870s together. They replayed the video as they went along, followed ALL the special hints, and especially followed the order of disassembly. It took them only 40 minutes, and they made no mistakes. I can't tell you how proud they were of themselves, and how proud I am of them. There is only ONE problem. They want to do it over and over again now. Next, the learn the cleaning process. I can actually trust them to do it without my supervision, and from now on, all of the Remingtons are now THEIR responsibility. Of course, you lock up all the shells. We can't wait until our grandsons get to see how the girls can do this. I predict a hell of a lot of envy.

[@almostontimehero5415]

What an awful grand pappy, kids come over for fun and goodies and you sit them down to clean your guns LMAO.

[@SynchronizorVideos]

That's great. Thanks for sharing.

[@christhegreatfirst]

FINALLY! Someone who knows how to teach. Expertly done. You waste no time getting to the point. You are very succinct and relay information expertly. Video and lighting were also expertly executed. Very well done. I'm subscribed.

[@D5quared91]

This is the best 870 reassembly/disassembly video I have ever seen. EXCELLENT work!!

[@ronaldpellettier3473]

As a new 870 owner, i found this just fantastic. The tips are great. Thanks for taking the time in making.

[@rob440six]

Wow. Smart, clear, well-presented video. Great fundamentals, helpful hints, and great use of the video tech. Kudos, brother.

[@hellensingh6148]

[@PalKrammer]

An excellent and highly professional video! This is absolutely the best gun disassembly / reassembly video I've ever seen. Remington should pay you for it. Your tip sbout the barrel and extractor needing alignment was totally new to me. Thank you! Just subscribed.

[@rykerhayward8606]

VERY thorough disassembly/ reassembly video! Others on here, they were practically doing this in the dark and not nearly as descriptive. THANK YOU!!

[@Winston4b]

Great job. I have an 870 i bought with paper route money from the old 5 and dime, Wolworths back in 1974 when i was 16. I used it quite a bit until about 1979 and never did a take down for a good cleaning. Your video gave me the confidence to give it a try. Im happy to tell you in less than hour and a half i successfully gave my Remington the attention it deserved. It really was kinda easy but i never would have attempted without your help. Great job. Your awesome

[@jaymeddaugh5640]

Absolutely Great Take-Down Video! I was very impressed with the patients you showed, along with the details! You literally left no rick unturned, or question unanswered! Well done!!😀

[@carllange3950]

I do not own a Remington, but I wanted to watch this to compare how Remingtons differ from Winchesters and Mossbergs. Definitely the best instructional videos I have found. Synchronizer’s videos set a standard of quality I aspire to achieve.

[@davidparker6459]

This was very informative very well put together, and the best one I've seen so far well done.

[@JoannaJedrzejczyksForehead]

This may very well be the best instructional video that I’ve ever seen on KZbin

[@unleasheth]

I know this is older video but wow, bravo! u actually cover alot of stuff at just the right level of detail, because u add bits of illustrations for various other upgrades/aftermarket installs whilst talking about the core steps of the breakdown. U are also very well with words, precise yet very explanative, and its just the right amount of info and its the exact info we wanted to hear too. Im impressed

[@NJBeachbum12]

By far, one of the best gun videos on KZbin!! Excellent presentation skills, and I like the way that you included different variations of this shotgun. The tips were very helpful. The structure of the process using separate chapters is great! Easy to find what you’re looking for, and helps to quickly get the job done. You’ve got a real knack for training. I know it’s a lot of work, but thousands of people are going to benefit from your efforts. Thank you, and keep up the good work!

[@fizixx]

Useful for folks, like me, that have been 'heired' a gun and do not have the owner's manual, so, thank you

[@liamthedevastator]

Just echoing what everyone else is saying. The level of professionalism and forethought that went into this video is unprecedented on KZbin and as the proud new owner of my dad's old 870 I REALLY appreciate how thorough and precise this video is. I have absolute confidence in doing a takedown to clean my firearms safely and effectively. Many Thanks!

[@davidhilliard1350]

That's the best shotgun video I've ever seen. Informative and professional.

[@Tsoiugidali]

I own a 1950 manufacture date 870. When it came into my possession I was told that it had never been cleaned in its lifetime. I shoot shotguns but do not consider myself a "shot gun guy". I am so grateful for this video you have posted. It allowed me to disassemble the gun, clean and restore it to my own expected cleaning standards. Who knew it would be so easy with proper instructions? Thank you for sharing your experience and insights for care of the 870 Wingmaster.

[@bobellis1022]

Thanks for the video! My father-in-law had an 870 that was in pieces and needed someone to put it back together. It was really simple once I followed your instructions.

[@damnsong8675309]

Same but with the Chinese knockoff, Norinco n870.

[@Socherbal]

This is the highest quality how to video I’ve ever seen on KZbin. Gold star

[@michaelcampbell4599]

Excellent!!! and NO flaky music. In fact, no music at all. I could hear every bit of each step.

[@corvetteguy1977]

I can not begin to express how thankful I am that you made this video. You sir are a professional. Many thanks!

[@sideshowbilly3755]

This is quickly becoming my favorite channel. Fantastic video, man. I know you produced this 6-7 years ago. But the info is still applicable today. Such a well made video. This is how all instructional videos, regardless of topic, should to look like.

[@ahabsbane]

I inherited a 57 wingmaster from my Gramps. I just wanted to say thanks for helping me to learn how to take down his shotgun, and remove the duck plug, the spring retainer was installed upside down, and i was worried about damaging the mag tube. I now have a perfectly clean shotgun that's ready for some mods! So thanks, i know this is an old video, but i hope your doing good, and shooting straight!

[@rustynail246]

Very detail instruction, thank you, it really helped me out on the new Remington 870P that I just bought. Every gun manufacturer should have included a video like this instead of paper manual.

[@tysontomko]

No BS, chapter/scene selection in description, extremely detailed info on every 870 "but what about..." that came up mid video right as it came to my mind, etc. A+ dude, and yes I hate that damn spring retainer

[@AUDIDOUGIE]

Great video. Just helped me take apart, paint and reassemble my old 870. She's looking dank in grey and black now.

[@paulanderson6434]

Several people have already said it. But, this truly is the best Remington 870 take down video on you tube. Thank you. I purchased my 870 as a police turn-in and it came with no paperwork. I reviewed multiple video until I came across yours. You covered everything (including that metal spring retainer) I needed to know to strip, inspect, clean and reassemble my 870. Great video. Thanks again.

[@gzitterspiller]

The quality of this video is incredible. Just for this video you deserve more subs and views.

[@DwightMS1]

Absolutely great video. I just brought home my new 870, and with your instruction I was able to disassemble it, clean and lube it, and reassemble it. Remington should put a DVD of your video in the box instead of their lousy owner's manual.

[@shaunsunderland7927]

Best take down video I've ever seen yet. amazing video !!!!

[@rtgirard]

By far, this is the best 870 takedown video on KZbin. Job we'll done!

[@kevinbrown7900]

Nice. Good video. Was looking to change out the barrel only but stumbled upon your channel. Good stuff. Thanks

[@donotoole3415]

Your videos are great. I just started hunting a couple of years ago so I am very green when it comes to care and maintenance of my guns. Your videos are perfect for clueless guys like me who need things in simple terms with clear illustrations. Thanks!

[@Dozer1003]

Excellent video, sir!!! Very professionally spoken and articulated perfectly. I enjoyed it and found if very informative. I have 3 different Mossberg 590A1's and I can totally Field Strip, Clean, Oil and Grease them in my sleep, but I recently purchased a Remington 870P Police Magnum #24885 and it arrived last Friday and I want to do a complete Field Strip & Clean and as soon as I'm finished typing this comment, I'm getting into it with your video running in the background as reference and I've saved it in my FAV FOLDER as well. Thank you for taking the time to produce a video of this quality and I can see from the comments, I'm not alone in that thinking. I will also check out the rest of your video library now as well. CHEERS...

[@faithfulcoyote9306]

Still the best 870 take-down video on KZbin so far. Good job!

[@thevapinkiwi3374]

that is the best 870 take down video by far

[@bonnerje]

Without a doubt, this is one of the best videos on the Remington 870. Great job; thank you.

[@robertloving6742]

Great video. Perfect presentation style! Don't change a thing

[@SynchronizorVideos]

Well, I have upgraded to a good microphone and a better camera since this video. But apart from the technical stuff, I'm still pretty happy with this one. Can't say the same for some of my other early videos.

[@cal48koho]

This is by far the best disassembly/assembly video I have found for the 870. It is so well organized that I wish he would do equivalent videos on all guns!! Thank you.

[@psychopathicunity]

Very good video! All details were fantastic. Certainly earned a follow from me. I havnt checked your videos yet but I hope there are plenty of.other tear down vids.

[@ladyblackhorse]

Absolutely wonderful and thoroughly educational. I bought an 870 three years ago for home protection, and it's been sitting in the corner ever since. I have been totally intimidated by it until I found your video. So helpful. Thank you so much. I'm now a loyal subscriber.

[@CrimsonSurvival]

Outstanding video, brother…✝️👍🏻

7 years later this video still Helping people. Thank you 😃.

[@khrishuerta3084]

Great video, thank you.

[@WIStoney32]

Great video. Good quality, good editing, good explanations. I have never taken my 870 apart all the way before. Now I feel better about its operation and ability to troubleshoot it.

[@joshuatwyman2956]

It took me 45 minutes to reassemble my 20 guage express I would get it fully reassembled but the pump wouldn’t work I was scared I broke it I watched this video about 10 times to get it right I found out was that when I went to put the slide and bolt back on I would push it back to far before I would depress the shell locks it was jamming the slide since e they were on the same line thank you for making a easy to understand video on this

[@leleeecheese3927]

Joshua Twyman I have the 12 gauge model and I swear I had the same problem I was like oh shit I fuckin broke it lol

[@joshuatwyman2956]

Don’t PullOut Ttt that is exactly what I thought i thought I had depressed the shell lock amazing how much one little piece of metal can scare you

[@leleeecheese3927]

Joshua Twyman it took me about 30 minutes of thinking I broke it before I got lucky and everything slid back lol I was like damn I haven’t even shot it yet and my ass already broke it 😂

[@joshuatwyman2956]

Don’t PullOut Ttt you did better than me at least I got to shoot mine before I nearly had a heart attack

[@risctakr]

When I finally got my 870 Police I watched all of your videos on the 870 and learned a thing or two. This is another excellent video and much appreciated!

[@stuartbailey6369]

[@bellymax]

Thank you! This was the best video I have seen for the 870. VERY well done! Looking forward to seeing your other videos and future ones! Your format, presentation details and close ups are terriffic! Keep up the great work!

Thank you.

[@rodc07093]

I'm a new gun owner, just having bought an 870 Police model! What a great video. Thank you.

[@Ghost-xi6js]

Good video. One note…go into more detail on the bolt and slide assembly. The slide assembly(silver part) can be assembled/attached to the bolt incorrectly.

[@wizardofahhhs759]

The slide assembly will only go onto the action bars one way though, put it on first then drop the bolt down on top.

[@cpryor5980]

The best step-by-step I have seen on KZbin. Regardless of subject. Bravo!

[@redemon5]

Great video, also why do you have a mayonnaise jar next to all your gun cleaning supplies 🤔

Because I thought it was funny, and wanted to see how many folks noticed it.

[@ridermak4111]

I’ve had my 870 apart/modified many times in the past 30 years, so I didn’t really learn anything new. However, this video is SO DAMNED WELL DONE, I couldn’t stop watching. 🤜🤛😎

[@compulsor5853]

Thank you for taking the time and effort to produce such a useful, through and easy to follow guide. I'm one of the "new owned's" you describe. Lots of firearms, & firearms use and disassembly experience with nearly every weapon type- except ZERO time even holding a shotgun! Did not grew up around guns, never been interested in hunting, so never was attracted to shotguns. My new 879 Tactical is a dream for home protection- but trying to remove a fused barrel nut in my brand new gun almost drove me nuts!

[@josephbranson475]

Amazing video, everything you did was very in-depth, professional, and helpful. It's rare to find a video with this much effort and time put into it. You definitely earned my subcription!

[@EvanEverhart911]

Sincerely, the Veey Best instructional video on the 870, or for that matter, any firearm, which Ive ever seen, and I watch a lot.

[@ArcheryDad2024]

Thanks so much for this video. I recently updated a D.U. Remington 870 from a duck gun to home defense. Your videos made that transition super easy. I just took it all apart with this video & cleaned about 34 years of dirt & dust out of it. Thanks again.

[@troyhilton1956]

Thank you young man for this video! The owners manual is CRAP when it comes to disassembly/reassembly and your video shows everything I needed to see.

Great video for someone new to firearms like me. My 870 was all FUBAR. But with patience, going back and rewatching parts a lot, and a fair amount of swearing, I got it all sorted out. Thank you.

[@SynchronizorVideos]

ysu2010 Glad I could help. Though it can seem daunting at first, the 870 is pretty simple compared to a lot of other firearms, and disassembly & reassembly gets easier with practice.

[@jj-wp6wc]

I just bought an 870 today! I'm waiting the sleepless 10 days to get it ( I'm in California). This video will be helpful, as I'm trying to familiarize myself as much as I can before I get mine. Cheers

He couldn't remember he needed to depress the second latch bar to reassemble the forearm with the receiver on his 870.
