Rossi RS22 / Mossberg 702 Disassembly and Reassembly.

[@nathaliafreire79]

This reassembly technique that you don’t have to put the spring together with the receiver is GAME CHANGING, man! Thank you!

[@slik560]

Your video has been the most helpful of all I’ve viewed. The process with the bolt and the extra pressure needed to seat the trigger assembly housing was invaluable. Thanks.

[@cmcausey]

Thank you very much for this video. The instructions for disassembly and assembly in the Rossi Instruction Manual leave much to be desired. In fact, they are useless in my opinion. Your excellent video saved the day!

[@chadwickmeyer7844]

Yep, I agree with you. The instructions are pretty pathetic. I'm glad you liked the video. Thanks for the feedback!

[@DeVonMArtis]

I agree with everything you’ve said.

[@joegranchelli415]

Dude, I’ve had this Mossberg 702 for about 10+ YEARS. The manual went right in the trash along with the box it came in when I was 21 years old back in about 2010. Coming back to this gun I’m like 😳. I did kink the spring, but after some extreme frustration, I looked up this video and was like “aaaaah ok, I see”. Very well explained; quick, easy, and to the point.

[@philmelancon3001]

I’ll add my praises for this video! I agree it seems to be the best approach for reassembly I’ve seen, including other videos and the instructions. I had bent my original spring badly enough to keep the action from working properly. I also managed to lose my buffer after forgetting to put it back in after cleaning. After a replacement spring from M*Carbo and a replacement buffer from eBay, I’m back in business! Hopefully with your tips here it will last a while! One thing I would add here - the trigger assembly seems to only go in easily if the safety is on safe. I know you remind your audience to put on safe, but it seems to be a functional requirement as well as for safety, for me anyway. Thanks again! I do enjoy this video as well as this great little rifle!

[@chadwickmeyer7844]

Phil, Thanks so much for the kind words. I'm happy that you found the video useful! I am also relieved to hear that I am not the only one who forgets about the Buffer!!! I have often fantasized about supergluing it to the receiver, but it probably isn't a good idea! I never realized that the trigger needed to be on safe when reinstalling it, but that's probably it has always been on safe when I did it anyway. I did, however, forget to mention that the hammer needs to be cocked back or it will not fit on (common sense I guess). Anyway, glad you like the video and the rifle. I have tons of fun with mine. Happy Holidays and Happy Plinking!

I decided to use the manual instructions to help me take apart and clean my new Rossi. After a few minutes, I realized I should have watched a video. I watched several Rossi cleaning videos a month or so ago but forget what they said. I watched yours. I was very happy I did. I am doing a review of my Rossi and will be leaving a link to your video for any viewer who wants to see how to take part and assemble their Rossi. I also subscribed. 😎👍

Hey Robb, thanks for the kind words. I’m glad that you found the video helpful, and I look forward to seeing your review!

[@surfbouy]

I've had the Rossi version of this for a few months. The first time I disassembled it, of course I bent the spring. Not enough to cause any issues, but it was a close call, and a royal PITA to reassemble. After watching this video, I gave it another try (it was filthy btw) and it was vastly simpler to do, with virtually no risk of damaging that fiddly spring. Thank you for the vid and a better/safer way to clean my rifle.

If you take your time, you can get alot of the grit out. Another thing that I have done is run the trigger assembly under very hot water, shake it out, and then use a hair dryer on it for a few minutes. I then spray a bit of WD-40 in afterwards. This gets it very clean. It all depends on you comfort level about the water.

Then, the piece that holds the red fiber optic in place, you push that to the right to slide it out of the main plastic piece that holds the optic to the gun. Once you slide that second piece off, you'll be able to see a second screw. Once you get that second screw undone, the whole thing will come right off. I realized the adhesive isn't actually holding the optic to the barrel, it's just kinda helping keep it in place so it doesn't move around. Took me too long to figure that out.

@@colemanhuckins1181 It prevents the metal bolt from slamming into the rear (inside) of the metal receiver after you fire each round.

Where can you order more springs from????

[@chadwickmeyer7844]

I went to eBay. I did a search for Mossberg 702 recoil spring.

[@colemanhuckins1181]

@@chadwickmeyer7844 Amazon didn't have any so I tried going to mossburges website, and they didn't have them either. I'll try eBay. Thanks for the help man

[@THEoriginaljmelford]

You can get the springs from Mcarbo.com look for the 702 plinkster springs it is the same ones.

Had the Rossi semi auto jammed?

[@chadwickmeyer7844]

Any firearm will have the occasional jam (whether from a failure to feed or something else), but I have found my Rossi to be vary reliable with many different types of ammunition. Personally, I tend to stay with either Federal or CCI, but that is just a personal choice. I have had good results with Remington and Winchester as well.

Thank you so much

Nice video, but seriously, you can get a punch set and jewelers hammer from Harbor Freight for less than $20 total. The right tool for the right job.

[@chadwickmeyer7844]

First, I’m glad that you liked the video, and I hope you found it helpful. Second, you’re 100% correct. If you don’t have an old Allen wrench lying around, then there are plenty of cheap alternatives that you can get. Third, if your old Allen wrench works well as a punch, then by all means USE IT! 😂😂😂

Idk what i did wrong but my charging handle rattles now i didnt before

[@resolutionoutdoors9248]

My charging handle is loose anyone else’s like that or do I need to take it apart and tighten it never done it before I suppose it can be tightened

[@zachjackson4038]

I broke the damn spring and still looking for a new one. Until I find it it's staying disassembled 🤦‍♂️

[@chadwickmeyer7844]

Make sure that you search for both the Rossi AND Mossberg Plinkster. They are the same.

[@derangedbananaman3669]

The pins won’t go flush no matter how hard I push them in

[@careyherbert919]

Does anyone else's Rossi have the problem of the bolt getting caught up on the top of the magazine? I have to pull the magazine down, without hitting the magazine release lever. This gets the magazine on the lowest position and allows the bolt to cycle freely. If I do not do this, it jams quite a bit. I just figured you get what you pay for. Its not bad, mine is pretty accurate, but the jamming issue is very frustrating.

[@chadwickmeyer7844]

Does this happen on more than 1 magazine? I have 2 different magazines, and don’t have this problem with either one.

[@careyherbert919]

@@chadwickmeyer7844 Yes, i have 8 to 10 different magazines that it does it on.

[@chadwickmeyer7844]

Hmmm, I would get in contact with them. Maybe they will offer you a replacement.
